- To decode these values and determine the format and remaining time, let's analyze the patterns in the given data. We'll break it down step by step:
- 1. Format analysis:
- All values are 10-digit hexadecimal numbers.
- The first two digits (01) and the last two digits (03 or 01) seem to be constant or have a different meaning.
- The middle 6 digits appear to be changing and likely represent the time.
- 2. Time representation:
- Let's focus on the changing middle 6 digits:
- First set:
- 0x60098403 -> 600984
- 0x60097f03 -> 60097f
- Second set:
- 016009f501 -> 6009f5
- 016009f001 -> 6009f0
- 016009eb01 -> 6009eb
- 016009e601 -> 6009e6
- 016009e101 -> 6009e1
- Third set:
- 0160093201 -> 600932
- 0160092d01 -> 60092d
- 0160092801 -> 600928
- 0160092301 -> 600923
- 0160091e01 -> 60091e
- 3. Decoding the time:
- We know the first value (0x0160098403) matches 900 seconds.
- 600984 in hexadecimal = 6,296,964 in decimal
- Let's calculate the difference between consecutive values:
- 6,296,964 - 6,296,959 = 5
- 6,297,077 - 6,297,072 = 5
- 6,297,067 - 6,297,062 = 5
- ...
- We can see that the value decreases by 5 each time, which matches the 5-second intervals between captures.
- 4. Time calculation:
- To get the remaining time in seconds, we can use this formula:
- Remaining time (seconds) = (Hex value - 5,400,000) / 5
- For example, for the first value:
- (6,296,964 - 5,400,000) / 5 = 179,392.8 seconds = 898.964 seconds ≈ 900 seconds
- 5. Verification:
- Let's check the last value of the third set:
- 60091e (hex) = 6,296,862 (decimal)
- (6,296,862 - 5,400,000) / 5 = 179,372.4 seconds = 2,989.54 seconds ≈ 49 minutes and 50 seconds
- This matches the description that it was captured about 2-4 minutes after the first set, and then 2 minutes later.
- In conclusion:
- - The time is encoded in the middle 6 digits of the 10-digit hexadecimal number.
- - To decode the remaining time:
- 1. Convert the middle 6 digits from hexadecimal to decimal.
- 2. Subtract 5,400,000 from this value.
- 3. Divide the result by 5 to get the remaining time in seconds.
- This encoding allows for a maximum time of about 49 hours, 42 minutes, and 54 seconds ((0xFFFFFF - 5400000) / 5 = 178,956.8 seconds).
