Cache is not at posted coordinates!!
A seven-segment display, or seven-segment indicator, is
a form of electronic display device for displaying decimal
numerals... Seven-segment displays are widely used in digital
clocks, electronic meters, and other electronic devices for
displaying numerical information.
- Wikipedia entry on
7-segment display
In this puzzle, the
controls for the segment have gotten all jumbled up! Instead of
using the widely published information on how to decode the display
number, it will have to be decoded all by itself! Fortunately, the
enclosed diagram illustrates how to decode the message. Note that
there are 7 segments (letters "B" through "H") and one decimal
point (letter "A"). Comparing them to the wikipedia page, you will
also note that the letters have, indeed, been jumbled up.
The coordinates have been encoded in a hexidecimal byte -- each
bit of that byte indicates if the segment is lit (a value of 1) or
unlit (a value of 0). The segment values are stored in ABCD EFGH
order in the byte (that is, A has the highest value and H is the
1's position).
