I definitely see the semblance to HVM, and I'm willing to adjust my mind to it, but I personally don't feel the need to shift :), thanks for the example though! I wouldn't have checked it out without it! At least for project-euler like problems, I'd hate to have to keep track of math operations like...

Same!
This was an awesome challenge. I think I'm going to rewatch a monty python movie tonight because of it

I guess the only way the site is going anywhere/Same type of site, would be if someone was willing to spearhead the thing. Once you have real intitiative and start the project going, I'm sure you could post here for help setting it up with a specific issue. I for one, don't think I have the time to ...

You could probably speed that up alot by doing the outer loop in parallel processes!

As from what I'm seeing, the effects of one iteration of the outer loop doesn't effect the next iteration of the outer loop, so its perfect for parallel programming.

I'm trying to beat Listen to me to get to this XD

Thanks A mind forever Voyaging! This pushed me to solve the first breakout by hand! Reading the solution thread I found out that I located the right method that had the answer, and what I thought was jibberish for the answer, turned out to actually be it >:L, Thats what I get for expecting it to be ...

What good java decompiler is there for this? I tried JD-GUI, and put those files into eclipse. There were too many errors to ever get it to run, there wasn't a string in either plain text or in a cipher text that I could find. I found a method that appears to encrypt strings.

My Sophomore Chemistry knowledge was all I had(I am in HS). The first thing I generally do when I see a crypto challenge is google the name, and once I was sufficiently convinced it had nothing to do with the band I tried wikipedia's periodic table of elements. (it now uses DS for element 110) Harde...

WOohooo!

I found the broken IDAT using pngcheck, and I was convinced this had to do with a bad CRC code. I got tired of trying to change bytes manually, so I started looking at the length field and it worked!

Oh woops I should have specified, I mean the one at this link:

I just noticed today that in challenges theres a visual histogram like java file showing how many people have solved x problems! Its pretty cool! It wasn't there last time I checked the leaderboard, is this new, or was my java being derpus?

I got the 14 numbers and sorted them properly. I can't figure out how to convert it into an english word. I've tried every logical thing I could think of at this point. Could I have a hint please?

Lol, why don't we make an idea for some new challenges or the system, then email adum about it rather than going a roundabout and creepy way and trying to track where he lives to grab a drink. My Ideas: First lets get bitwar and wormaggeddon on a script that runs once every 24 hours.' Second Lets ma...

Now I am a bit determined that the script for running bitbath fights is broken since my bot hasn't been in a fight yet and its been approximately 22 hours
