IOAA 2023, Отборен тур — Задача 2. Reply to Arecibo Message
Group Competition
Указания
- For this round, the participants will be grouped by random selection into 5-person teams, each representing a named asteroid. Each participant in the group will be from a different country. The selection will take place near the beginning of the IOAA, so that the team members can get to know each other.
- Please remember the name and number of your asteroid, as this will also be used to identify your place during the Planetarium and Observation rounds.
- The group competition consists of several tasks, which you will receive in a sealed envelope. Each team works together at one table under the supervision of the guides to solve the tasks. You are not allowed to communicate with participants from other teams during the round.
- Dedicated answer sheets are provided for writing your answers. Enter the final answers into the appropriate boxes in the answer sheet (marked A).
- Open the envelopes on the START signal given by the judges. Time is measured from this moment; the winning team will be the one which finishes in the shortest total time, after any time penalties (for example for incorrect or missing answers) are applied. The time penalties are explained in each task.
- When you have solved all the problems, hand your answer sheets to the guide, who will note the total time.
- The maximum time available for the round is 90 minutes. After this time any remaining answer sheets should be handed in.
- The completed answer sheets will then be marked by the jury, who will apply time penalties as appropriate. The winning team will be announced at the closing ceremony.
- Everything you need will be provided on the table (calculator, office supplies, geometrical instruments, paper, table of constants).
- For one of the tasks, all the screens in the room will simultaneously display a video at a specified time (the video will be repeated several times).

Условие
During IOAA 2023, a reply to the message sent by the Arecibo radio telescope in 1974 finally reached Earth. A video recording of the transmission will be played on the monitors during the round. Decode the transmission and write the hidden message on the answer sheet.
The recording will begin playing 30 minutes after the start of the competition, and play continuously in a loop for a total of 30 minutes.
Penalties: missing or incorrect answer: +15 minutes
