This is the perl script I used to try to find the answer. I substituted the 9's for (", ") to separate the strings in the array. I keep getting the same wrong answer no matter what source I use. Any ideas? $big = 0; foreach (@array) { if ($_ > $big) { $big = $_; } } print "$big\n";

I am trying to do this challenge in Perl, because I am taking a Perl class and it just makes sense for me to try it in this language, so here's what I've got: #!/usr/bin/perl #valuation.plx use warnings; @numbers = (9,3,7,5,2,,,,7,4,6,,2,7,,1,7,5,4,,,9,0,,9,3,,,,,,2,3,8,,4,4,,7,5,,,0,8,7,5,0,9,1,2,7...

This challenge is one of those ridiculous things that makes you over think it, until you realize that you already know the answer and then you feel stupid...

I see.... Actually, not at all... =.=;

Is it possible to get the answer using paint, or does the answer have something to do with layers of the image?

I turned the decimals into 8 bit integers and got this: 199=11000111 77=1001101 202=11001010 But can someone please explain to me how to turn those into a 24 bit unsigned integer? I wasn't able to find a reliable explanation online. Thanks! -しあ
