star wars - Who was the real "Master Code Breaker"?



In The Last Jedi, Finn and Rose are tasked with finding "the master code breaker" by Maz. They travel to the city of Canto Bight and after searching



think they found him by the unique lapel pin he wears.



However, they are then apprehended by the local security and thrown into jail where they meet



another character (played by Benicio del Toro, I think the character is DJ?) who seems to fit the role of master code breaker based on his actions.



Then later once aboard the First Order ship




DJ betrays Finn and Rose by selling them out. Which seems out of character for someone loyal to Maz.



So my question is who was the "real" master code breaker that Maz has told Finn and Rose about? The one they thought (based on lapel pin) or the one they actually ended up with?



Answer



The real Master Codebreaker is a genuine person, at least according to the film's Visual Dictionary. His true identity is apparently concealed behind layers of (unbreakable?) encryptions but there's no reason to assume that he isn't who he says he is or that he can't do the things he claims to be able to achieve.



MASTER CODEBREAKER


Known only by his intriguing title. Master Codebreaker keeps his real identity a secret. He has posted his personal data in a public network node, wrapped in quantum-spread biohexacrypt code. It is an open invitation: anyone who can crack his code is welcome to take over the mantle of Master Codebreaker. To date, no one has come close. The Canto Casino only lets the Codebreaker play dice games and forbids him from any electronic forms of entertainment.

By comparison, DJ is merely a skilled slicer. He's not in the same league as the Master Codebreaker but he does possess sufficient knowledge of the First Order to be able to get them into the ship



but insufficient knowledge to get them into the highly guarded vault at the end of their journey

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
