I'm guessing that the statement at the bottom is a key. All of the letters used in it, or at least some of them, will be used in the 8's and 7's string

it is large banana cracked it.

Guys this year's puzzle is already underway, and the message is the exact same as the one from 2012.

 

It's all fake

There hasn't been a puzzle this year

It was carried over from 2014

It was solved in 2014

Maybe it's XOR encryption?

WAIT I THINK I GOT IT! I think the thing with the 8s is supposed to represent a punchcard! It might be a simple decryption program OR text! WHAT KIND OF PUNCHCARD COULD IT BE!?

Edit:

I think it's more likely to be ticker tape

The 8s might be representing the holes for where the computer grabs the ticker tape! Does anyone know ANYTHING about punchcarding/ticker tape programming? Is it written in FORTRAN? If so I think it might be a very basic decryption algroithm for something.

I don't know FORTRAN, we need someone who knows FORTRAN

It is very wide for a ticker tape though, it's 38 wide... And there is only 1 'hole' per row...

Wait, I'll try and write a program to read the numbers I came up with from before

Here's what I got out of it:

5K----2Z-Z4---4---
Anyone got any idea what this could mean? Or if this is just a fluke? Is my code bugged?

Here is my code:

#!/usr/env python3#Distributed under the MIT licencepunched_string=['&', '-', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', '/', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']endstring=""tempi=0punched_card=open("card.txt") #The number of space between each character is on a linefor i in punched_card:	print(i)	try:		tempi=int(i.replace("\n","").replace(" ",""))	except:		tempi=" "		endstring+=punched_string[int(tempi)]		punched_card.close()print(endstring)
Here's the text file I gave it (which I built by adding up the spaces between the 8s and the 7s)

mind blown teach me!

All it takes is some wikipedia, you just need to look for it and you end up finding stuff

WAIT I JUST REALISED WHERE I WENT WRONG! I NEED TO REMOVE ALL THE 1s! THEY'RE THE GAPS!

 

5K2ZZ44
Ok, at first I thought it might be a post code/zip code, something is still wrong, unless postcodes/zip codes are like this in another country

I changed the text file to this:

7224383866
What if some of the gaps were actual gaps though... I'll see what comes up with this first

The bottom looks like a simple code and it is. Me and a friend wrote whole books in randomized codes in elementary school. We switched codes every week no one could crack it. This is much more simple and un randomized. 00=A 01=B so on as you could already tell. Now if this "5K2ZZ44" is what its supposed to be then its an adress like the markers Im guessing. So I'd bet the adress is 5000 on a street and then you have the 2zz44 to figure out
