Anybody can put a .flac or even .wav.gz copy for me on a server somewhere?
My CD is scratched about 2/3 into the song. :-(

Maybe that would violate the copyright on the song... but I don't
know...

The public mp3 and ogg versions are very high quality (in my ears). You
can download the 4.2 song here:

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/songs/song42.ogg

The songs should be in ogg or mp3 format on ftp.openbsd.org (filedate
Oct 3). Maybe you can also find it on your mirror.

Well, I was hoping to rebuild the scratched CD (track 1 is fine) and use 
the lossless version for that, but perhaps I'm too pedantic.

Okay, I can't bear it any longer. I thought that maybe binary 11
and 1010101 stood for decimal 33 and 85, and that made me think of
ASCII ! and U. But I just don't get it. Is anybody in a mood to

I think it should have been 101 instead of 11. But if it's not 
than it's a good easter egg :-p (and I don't get it).

ASCII ! and U.
Merged: !U
As in: Not U
As in: Not you
As in: Not you to us (the seventh to last the line in the song)

That's how I've interpreted it.

And of course,

Ok, so I just now came up with this:

1001001
011
011
1010101

Using the good old IBM code page 437
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 ) that we know and love
--and which is still encountered in some .NFO files, cf.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.nfo -- the above translates to:

I
[heart]
!
U

In other words: I'd love to bang you.

It's one for that special girl's poetry book, methinks.
Or it would make a cool T-shirt if you're out skirt-chasing among the
geekette crowd.
All in good humour of course.

TheRaven64 writes that (0)11 1010101 is (caesar-)ciphertext for Au.
But going with Tom's suggestion of a missing 0, 101 1010101 is
plaintext for AU.

So is Gold the answer or is it not you?

Well back on last Sunday I put my guess on undeadl
at:
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20071007002942mode=expanded;
count=26
and it was Gold as you can easily see.

I didn't explain my reasoning because it might have been a spoiler but
now there are two others getting gold, both differing from mine in the
method.

Listen to the song. The two strings are broken and come out as:
100  001 that gives 41 which is A in hex
101  0101 that gives 55 which is U in hex.

Gosh, three ways to make gold.
OpenBSD is Alchemy!

I'd award it gold in the marathon for sure.
