Would you smart guys be able to figure out my ATM #?

[Ulysses]

I got a new ATM card a while back. I have to make a phone call to switch the PIN, so I've just been using the default. But I wrote the pin number on the back.

MC 0110

How many of you would be withdrawing cash with my ATM card if you found it?

[Moozh]

1106?

[NoChance]

1303?

I take it you went with Roman numerals + binary. Nope, that's not it. Phew.

[Matty]

1310, 1001?

[Ulysses]

None of the answers so far are correct. I'll respond when someone gets it right. Or if it looks like you can't figure it out.

A stoic does not lie, cheat, or steal. I would either return the card to the proper authorities or run the card through a shredder - thus assuming that the person that lost it would be smart enough to make a simple phone call and have the account/pin deactivated. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Pin numbers are only to keep honest people honest. Protect your card, and never use a debit card on the computer. Also, don't use Internet explorer, and definitely don't ever buy anything using Internet explorer! Any card linked to you bank account is very dangerous.

If I was a crook, the ATM would not be the way I would be pulling money out of your account. Still, it looks like your encryption method for your pin number is good enough to foil pin number dependent crooks.

Are you telling me you're an accomplished poker player and all-around bright guy who can't just remember his own PIN? I memorized mine within a day and threw it away.

In the UK we are intorducing new technology so instead of signing your credit slips you type in your pin.

I have 3 current accounts, my companies card, and three credit cards, its going to be a nightmare.

I have an elaborate system I use for passwords, PINs, etc. Also, once I commit something to memory, it usually stays there forever. I have thousands of phone numbers from high school, college, etc. memorized. What a waste of space.

So, this randomly generated PIN is not one that I want taking up space in my memory nor one that I want synaptically related in any way to my complex system of unique passwords. Writing it on the back of my card is merely a temporary measure until I call and select an appropriate password.

Of course, that was all moot, since once I came up w/ the mnemonic device to write on the back, the number became indelibly imprinted in my mind. Thus, in actuality I didn't really write that on the back. But that was my initial plan.

That's here too, but most credit card companies don't use it. Only, debit/check cards.

Everyone seems to be assuming it's a 4-digit number. Is this correct?

[TimTimSalabim]

I'm going with 1304, by the way.

Yes, it is a four digit number. Nobody has gotten it so far. I'll post the answer soon. I suspect a number of people will quickly figure out what it was then. I can't say for sure, but some people might be on the right track already.

FWIW, the MC is not Roman numerals and the 0110 is not binary.

There are so many different ways to combine those letters and numbers, it seems like it could be just about anything. The fact that you had to put a zero on the front of 0110 to make it four digits seems like a good clue. It makes me think it's something like a digit mask. But, that's as far as I can go with it.

Yes, it is a most rudimentary digit mask. But that was kind of dumb of me. I mean, I should have planned on just writing MC 011 or MC 110 to make it less obvious. But since nobody has guessed right, I guess it wasn't very obvious anyway. Really, I should have written MC J11C. That would have been good, two meaningless letters.

Haven't read any responses, but 1106.

Seemed pretty easy (if correct), but I'd rather take your money at the table. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Edited to say: oh, well, it did seem too easy. Any kind of algorithmically-based encoding scheme will be pretty hard to decipher without the algorithm.

[Jake (The Snake)]

Perhaps I'm way off but here's my shot...

M is the 13th letter so there's the 13... the two zeros do not matter... 25 comes by doubling the middle numbers (which is actually just one number, 11) and adding the value of C (3).

I'm sure you all will now make me look silly. So do it already.

[Joseph Busti]

MC=Magna Carta
magna carta was signed in 1215, add 0110 to it
you get 1325.

[Ray Zee]

problem with most of these codes to fool someone. is that you tend to forget what your code was and if you havent used your pin for awhile find yourself stuck.

I thought MC stood for Mike Caro. And 0110 was binary code for 7. Mike is 1,332 years old: subtract 7 and voila . . .

Mike is actually 1,331 years old, and that works with 110 being 6 in binary.

Come on Andy. El Diablo isn't dumb enough to use a number that changes every year (such as age.) Though, this is a very strange coincidence that it works out the same...
