It looks like 2009 was the heyday of this site judging by the Most users ever online was 793 on Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:44 pm on the index page and distant memories, around two years after the site started up ( 15 April~15 May 2007 ). I guess this site has been stagnating on Google for these past 6 years...

Try adding a "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header to your request

And here is a backwards Python solution that makes things nice and simple :3 s = "93752xxx746x27x1754xx90x93xxxxx238x44x75xx08750912738x8461x8759383xx328x4x4935903x6x5550360535004x0xx945958961296x267x8842xxx5x6xx61x4x48482x80xxx83316843x7x4x83x9521731xxx25x51xx457x6x5x9698222x771237745034x51335...

This seems like a perfectly good excuse to play with asm/masm32 again: .386 .MODEL flat, stdcall OPTION CaseMap:None include \masm32\macros\macros.asm include \masm32\include\masm32.inc includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib .DATA I...

The function should be returning a 17 digit decimal, there's more than one way to interpret the code

My memory can be a little bit fuzzy but I think the PHP class for handling SuperHack went something exactly like this <?php class SHVM { public $MAX_CYCLES = 10000; private $movin = array(array(1, 0), array(0, -1), array(-1, 0), array(0, 1)); // public $MEM_HEIGHT = 8; public $MEM_HEIGHT = 128; publ...

See the bottom of this for automated submitting

As much as I would like to claim this was intentional, I think it is just a coincidence. If I recall basic x86 instructions in 16,32 & 64bit are essentially the same (it just depends on the processor mode), and I think there would only be one or two places where the instructions take immediate v...

If you give it a good bash the answer will simply fall out

You may also have to complete a challenges like Who goes there?, this probably isn't the place to post about "a IP Flodder" though.

Maeda Path -> Number Theory -> One Function may be of interest to you. I guess there aren't more simply because people haven't submitted them, it could also be because they have been rejected - platform dependency + arbitrary code execution could be grounds for rejection. There are also plenty of C...

I looks like I can take the accolades for longest + ugliest code from megabreit and slowest from elsewhere! The code is 1806 bytes long, takes 1802+6(n-1) cycles and limited to 0<n<=250 where n is the lowest of the two values. It basically uses memory[0:250] as a lookup table for function addresses ...

Assuming that was with code that prints nothing out: it's because an empty string is assumed to be 0 by PHP's casting so happens to be interpreted as correct by the test script. As far as I recall all the VM test scripts don't print out the input/output for any tests passed and even some 'secret' te...

I'm not going to Fib, Lucas can solve it with a closed-form equation.

I think the page you get after solving a challenge points you to the Challenges form instead of the Challenges Solved one - I noticed this after solving Super Brainfuck the other day, there wasn't even a thread in the solved section for it which doesn't seem ideal. As much as I like the challenges a...
