Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
Thanks to all who replied. I got the manual now, and to me it kind of figures that after I ask about it coming out, the next day it is released.

To paraphrase Douglas Adams:
“Ford! There’s an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this document from FIRST they’ve decrypted!” |

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
The password is released during Kickoff. Right after the game reveal, when they have the quizshow.

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
Yes. That is the point of the password. So that no one finds out the game before the game is released. Some people try to crack it, but this year it will take longer to crack than it will to just watch kickoff and understand how the game works from there.

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
If anyone has, they haven't published it to the masses, or gained any real advantage.
I think every year since they've started doing this, its been the same story; some half-hearted/joking attempts at it, but an encryption too strong to be realistically cracked in time, and no serious attempts or results. |

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
Even though I know it is fun to joke about trying to break the encryption, I am going to remind everyone to act with Gracious Professionalism and follow forum rules. The encrypted manual is released early as an aid, so during kickoff you can have it immediately without having to wait to connect to the FIRST website. Continued discussions of cracking may in the future cause FIRST to rethink their process of releasing an encrypted version.

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
My teamate cracked it once only after kickoff because the password wasn't working. i think it was Lunacy's year (2009).

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
I just get a "Download Open Password" prompt. Is that where I enter the encryption code we get at Kick-Off? I thought I could download encrypted manual before the Kick-Off. How can I download encrypted manual before Kick-Off?

Re: 2011 Game Manual PDF?
So I feel like a bit of an idiot because I've never had issues with this in years past but I'm having issues downloading the full manual like I normally do. I'm not very computer savvy. Normally when I save a pdf file to my computer I click on it and it opens in adobe and I click save. I thought this is what I've done in years past for the full manual. Although when I click on the link this year I get a pop-up immediately asking for the password and when I don't give the correct one, I don't have an option to save.
Can someone please help? I know I'm probably missing something really simple. |
