According to the title, we may have to look "inside the earth"?

The game is losing its appeal since so many solutions are now available online, at least for the lower level...

AMindForeverVoyaging wrote:Exactly. Please do not discuss the solution here, but feel free to do this in the "Challenges Solved" section instead. That's what it is there for.

Well, but after solving, this thread is given to me to discuss my solution. I think, this shouldn't be. Someone important should fix it...

Wow, Firefox is fine with it, just chrome has problems.

This thread works fine in all browsers (FF, Chrome and even IE 11). Until now there's no 2nd page. And there are no special profile preference settings.

Maybe you can use it to find a flaw for the "Hacker Exposed" Challenge...

Tons of code, tons of data, ...
Looking back, I would say, it would have done much faster to listen to the
audio file and write all numbers down manually.

The hardest part was letting the VM stop.
But 55 instructions? No way! End of road...

Yes, the list of solvers is growing rapidly. Whenever go.to.hell solves a challenge Samora do also, and vice versa. A very extraordinary coincidence.

Hmmm... the "Matrix" from the title tempts me to solve a system of linear equations.

Is there anybody out there who wants to talk about this unbeloved monster?

Yeah...
Damn. It seems that the NTL library does not calculate accurate.

I fed my algorithm with the familiar words too and came quite near to the number given in the challenge. But this approach is not very promising, because the Greedy-algorithm approach will not necessarily converge to the plain text in each and every case. The NTL library does a good job for me. I ha...

When I say, I know the encoding, I do not talk about continued fractions.

I know how the text is encoed. The big problem is to find the right alphabet and the frequencies. All my brute-force-solvers took too much time to find the right answer.

In C++ it's the XOR operator.
