one hint ... "h" was the key to my solution

This challenge isn't new. You will get it right after solving the challenge "It's a small World"

Sure. You can use PHP, Python, Java, etc or even wget.

The "AN(S)WER" is broken again

@jeetee:

your answer is wrong. try your solution for the 5 by 5 part.
the 1st answer is between lcm(2,3,4,5,6) and lcm(2,3,4,5,6,7).
all other solutions can be achieved by adding multiples of lcm(2,3,4,5,6,7) to the 1st answer.

public class Blackbox { public static void main(String[] args) { int x = 0; int s = 230392619; int i = 0; int ul = Integer.MAX_VALUE; while (x!=s) { x = ((( ul & i - 7333333 ) ^ 783425929 ) * 22233442 ) ^ 111111111; i++; } System.out.println("Solution:"+(i-1)); } }

I've tried a lot of more or less useless refactoring until i found the "key". I've written a python program that restructured the code by inline and delete some of the simple methods and doing further refactoring tricks. Afterwards, i can recommend IntelliJ IDE for this challenge. It will ...

You can "edit" your Post...

I would say it's more a general programming style you miss, instead of a php-depending code only.
The hint by rmplpmpl is the best here. You should care about the 1% in computer science. I guess your BF-Algo is missing at least 0ne char

I WILL DO IT AGAIN wrote: and the proove that i am not gay :
ask ur mom she will tell u about the best night ever

For any circumstances, does that mean there is a small chance that "I WILL DO IT AGAIN" might be the father of "plope0726"...

I would suggest not to google for it anyway. Especialy being german should show you somehow the reference between the title and a possible solution (you just have to do a "dirty" translation of the title).
