  • Microids has organised quite a few competitions for its players in the past year on Garfield Kart-Furious Racing, which was weird considering the game didn’t have much player activity. I even joined a few of them for laughs, and i guess that’s why it gave priority to Steam’s reccomendations; the game’s announcement showed instantly on my Steam’s “What’s New” tab.

    That’s very clever marketing, I’ll give them that.








  • Think of it from a random guess perspective. Guessing a number randomly generated between 0-16 is easier than guessing one between 0-8.

    Now think that all passwords are stored in certain amount of bits, so let’s compare 4 and 8 bits.

    Each bit has a chance to be either 0 or 1, so guessing a single bit’s possibility is 1/2.

    Guessing the correct orientation of 4 different bits takes 1/24 = 1/16

    Guessing the correct orientation of 8 different bits takes 1/28 = 1/256

    Now think passwords being stored in more bits(=longer password)
