Is there any updates on this? Submitting answers also seems to be broken, see: viewtopic.php?p=23181

There seem to be several issues currently. See viewtopic.php?t=2750

I haven't solved it myself. But, if you look at the code as C code (as it probably is, since it can compile with gcc), you'll see that the code can be stripped significantly, and it runs much faster after stripping. Could that be a hint?

An easier version of this could have been a good warm-up indeed.

Agreed

You guys seem smarter than me, if you compare length xD

I'd love to see your program, once you've solved it

I thought this challenge was pretty straight forward. There are many speech recognition software solutions out there that can solve this challenge. The only thing is to look out for errors. Luckily, those are also pretty straightforward to find. Here's what I suggest: Slow the audio down... Maybe 30...

hmm... I think a important clue would be, shall we search the file or the notes. If it is obvious, my fault..

Both the notes and the file look like it could be hiding something.

Did not even know there were two tracks xD also, there's so much data... I hope that single note has something to do with the answer.

Well two easy challenges... King rat was much more of a challenge [/code]

Recursion recursion...

Can anybody give me a hint on this one?

Take a look at the middle of the Midi. Every note increases the offset by 240, but after offset 6480, there's a 480 offset gap. Could that be something useful?

Well I was not talking about the file. I was talking about music theory. If you open the file in a MIDI editor, you see a few Chromatic scales. It could be that these are irrelevant, but as these chromatic scales all appear to have errors, I do not think so.

What do you think?

I did it in Javascript, no problems, fun challenge :D var answer = ""; var img = document.getElementsByTagName('img')[1]; var canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); canvas.width = img.width; canvas.height = img.height; canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height)...
