I've had an idea how to solve this for a while, but didn't have the correct letter frequencies until now. C code using GMP (with precision of 1000 digits to be on the safe side): #include <stdio.h> #include <gmp.h> double freq[27]={ 0.08167, 0.01492, 0.02782, 0.04253, 0.12702, 0.02228, 0.02015, 0.06...

As someone who has been using C, I don't recall having any problems downloading larger levels. Maybe I've been using the "correct" methods all along, I've been using curl. On the other hand, when submitting the solution for some puzzles I had to change from GET to POST because the solution...

I didn't have the impression that there was something wrong with them. See my sample solution above. Which ones do you think were off? The source is off in some cases, for example they cannot decide whether the Norway national day is on 16th or 17th May (they were off in 2009, but correct in 2014 a...

No, the last level that can be solved and accepted by the server is 513, and the profile will also show 513.

I was not looking forward to this one, but I had to do it since it's a major choke point in the map and I wanted access to the next challenges. It wasn't as bad as I feared, even though I have little experience with this kind of problems. I preprocessed the image (automatically) to one with only 3 c...

Why do I often get a link to the regular forum (rather than the "solved" one) after solving a problem? I implemented a genetic algorithm which managed to converge quickly to outputs like this: 4'k's ease into this cipher.;juiB 3 lfnps! i g#ess 'thr3esum' sh9uld be a good choice for yer a-n...

I managed to solve this in 23054 cycles with a recursive flood-fill algorithm. I used one optimization: Split the recursive routine into 4, each of the 4 routines doesn't re-check the direction where we came from.

I'm interested. It's always good to have more levels!
