First, seventy-two.
Up seven, down eleven.
Finally, up eight.

What does it mean?

Beyond my abilities to even figuring out what is the referenced context.

Hint: "The Martian"

Isn't it worse if a joke is explained and it still doesn't register? I might have to use Google to help me on this one, too.. Perhaps this is one of those situations where everyone else is getting the joke except for one peep ..(this one)

Don't worry if you can't solve it. I thought it was too easy, but it turned out to be either too difficult, or nobody really cares to solve it. Just ignore it and let it die... Do watch the movie though (if you haven't already).

I read the book (apparently, not close enough) and saw the movie, still do not remember that phrase/riddle, but google says that it is, indeed, a quote from the book.
Still a puzzle re the meaning, though.

You won't find that specific message in the book or movie. It's a different message, but with the same encoding.

Come on, guys! It's easy! It's not even Base58...
