Yes, the game is definitely buggy. Just now I was on Level 8 and had the Sticky Paddle extra, I was at the very left of the screen and the ball was on the left of my paddle - and then it vanished completely. I also did not lose a life, but I cannot continue in this level - no new ball would appear,...

This challenge is obviously solvable with trial and error, but the (more) logical approach looks like this: 13186 = 79 * 2245 + (79 * 2 - 7) 13186 = 79 * 2245 + 151 13035 = 79 * 2245 165 = 2245 Then this reduces to the problem to make 165 by changing one digit of 2245 into something else. It was the...

I don't think the challenge should be changed. Some challenges do not have plain English words as their answers to prevent entering random words without actually trying to solve it. The answer for this specific challenge is made of a couple of words merged so that it makes some sort of joke. By the ...

I just found out that the words above might be misleading...
I meant that there is a pattern in N(4*n) / D(4*n), not N(n) and D(n) individually, that you can approximate into an infinite series, and the precision increases with n so you don't need to worry about integer division.

No, that's not a series of natural numbers, it's a famous series of fractions.
Aware that the word "series" means the sum of numbers in a sequence :D

I think there is only one correct way (the challenge description says you cannot cross your own path) and yes, it is between 100 and 150 steps. I cannot say further :P

Since it is a Wikipedia article (as mentioned in this thread), the differences are irrelevant.
Here is a tip: Always in Didactic series, you use some knowledge or method used in a challenge to the next one.

There are two general categories of ciphers - one category is the other cipher challenges you have seen (and hopefully solved) so far, and this challenge is in the other category. After you find out the category and possible cipher methods in it, the challenge title will then help you.

If you solved some (other) simple substitution cipher challenges, you can think of what the plaintext looks like.

I suspect you have some login session problem or something similar. "The answer is 4 characters long" possibly means that level 0 is loaded, and "The answer is 1024 characters long" should be the proper length for 106. My method for puzzle automation is to log in to the forum fir...
