Though I applaud your work and your ability to find the correct answer, I have to warn you that you shouldn't post solutions in this thread. If you could please edit out your code, that'd be great.

Just don't care about it and enjoy the challenges.

If we don't have a ranking system, how will we know that we're better than other people? I want to know this information![/sarcasm]

A custom one...? Or a custom twelve...? I doubt this is anything known, it is just a made up challenge.

Please respond , thank you

... you fell for that site...?

I think the answer to this challenge is the password, not positive though, I solved it awhile ago. Even if I got the password, I would expect to log in and see the same "you have no secrets" message. Considering that the challenge tells you not to try to "guess the password" as ...

As the challenge description says, you have to log in as 'adum' in order to see his secrets. I logged in as adum (and as someone else) and still get the no secrets treatment. I even got it to work with the user name field having just the word adum in it so that it will show properly on the next pag...

This isn't a forum about teaching though, it's about figuring things out yourself. I do think that the sentence "We guide you on this journey" prominently featured on the very first page of this website suggests otherwise, but I guess those are just empty words then. So instead of this be...

bspus says they do not understand what this challenge is about. Just because it is obvious or easy for some (or even many) does not mean that is is obvious or easy for everybody, is all I'm saying. Y'all would be terribly bad teachers, you know... "Why explain multiplication? It's obvious! And...

It's fairly easy and I don't know how to give any hints without just telling you the solution. I knew what to do as soon as I saw the challenge, it was that easy.

Sadly I thought of this solution for Right Key Left about a year ago and it didn't work. Thankfully someone decided to make this challenge! ;p

I haven't tested them all but I'm pretty sure you can start at any (x, y) and reach the solution.

Nobody probably posted their code because it looks like crap at the end. I started with really good code on the first challenge then slowly it turned into crap by the end lol My code did found the stairs and moved north/south back and forth until my character was level=2+current_floor that was I kne...

With a name like VIndication, one would think the answer would be Bill Joy. I guess they should have called it VIMdication. Maybe that would have been too easy. I must say I was wracking my brain against this one until I looked at the source. It's interesting that the <ESC> would display in some br...

The point is that its supposed to be big so its harder.

Hopefully this isn't too far but the numbers are an index (by index, I mean sort of like an array) of some type of string, book, paragraph, or text. You are on the right track sort of, no math is really involved.
