I used Java and worked directly on the file ... static HashMap<String,Integer> _len = new HashMap<String,Integer>(); public static void main(String args[]){ try{ ZipFile zipfile = new ZipFile(new File("c:\\hacker\\manyfiles.zip")); Enumeration ez = zipfile.entries(); List<String> paths = n...

Hi, why do you need 2 values ? If you can answer THAT, than you're pretty close to the solution. On the other hand, don't get to fancy with the hints adum already posted in another topic, except the fact that you really do need a decent sample space, the other hints are more or less well, not helpin...

Hi, as you mentioned, there are many things that have something to do with McCormick so google can't help you unless you can spot the right result when it turns up. The origin of this cipher is a phonetic one, which is not how the cipher works in this case (this cipher somehow evolved from the origi...

BitBath Extreme ... sounds good, can you spoil us a liitle bit about the features ? What I meant with running matches wasn't that I or anyone else runs matches for you ... since as you said this might result in certain security issues. What I meant was to implement a client-server-architecture for d...

Hi, the idea came to my mind to ... but the longer I "played" the more I realized, that more than 2 players would alot be like rolling the dice because you could eliminate 2 opponents just to loose to the third one that was just waiting and building up an army ... there would be totally ne...

Hi, first I have to say, that for some time I just did challenges and ignored more or less BitBath ... well its way more fun than the challenges ... so thanks for the great game. I know I'm pretty new to the "BitBath-Scene" and have still a lot of room to improve my bot, anyways I'd like t...

Well ... since its really just googeling and finding an online-decoder its not relly that spoiling ! The challenges are pretty much the same in difficulty and approach. Another interesting question is why barcode is a MISC-Challenge while Twisted Zebras is not ... maybe its becaus one needs to figur...

@ fridolin

You got the wrong topic you just posted pretty much the solution for "Barcode" in under "Twisted Zebras" topic ... its not that crucial since the solution is pretty much the same: Wikipedia/Google.

Anyways ... Schwamm drüber

Ok, if you post your solutions I'll post mine ..

0<01^1^<:2/5?0^<1v1+0^<2?3cdp

Since I've already seen a bunch of different approaches ... maybe I can pick up some optimization-ideas ...

Hi,
after transforming the vid to jpegs it took me around 8 mins to type the bits ... so doing that by hand is probably the fastest way ... unless you have a nice pattern-recognition software already installed.

Hi, here is mine ... yeah I'm not so good at it, i still wanted to remove that ugly "return" on the bottom and replace it by "@/$" but it worked like that (the outer loop just runs 14 times, fortunatly the test case wasn't the worst case (totally inverted). 28*s/1-,12^>x?\72*+ s/...

So, which Alogrithm did you use (if you wanna share that with us). Man, did I made a bad choice ... Bubble Sort, just since it came to my mind first and is pretty easy to implement. I should have roughly estimated the cycle-count befor starting to code ... . I'm not one of the guys who can make such...

Hi, i'm getting approximatly 95% right ... still my PNG is corrupt. My way of approaching the whole thing works pretty good ... I made kindof my own learning speach-recognition software. Unfortunatly I'm really not good at audio-fingerprinting and such, I tried using my own algotithms for the recogi...

Hi,

I sent in the challenge "tree for the forest" or however adum called it, it was exactly the same ... so he probably replaced it.
