I'm sorry, maybe I'm stupid, but to me this challenge is completely crazy... I've spent 6 hours on this now, that is after figuring out what to do. Simply because it either doesn't follow any logic or the resources available don't make sense for the last characters... Maybe this is intended but that...

I don't understand perl at all but to me this looks way too complicated. This challenge is solvable with an awk one-liner. I really recommend a linux-based vm for many of the challenges here since tools like sed and awk really make it a lot easier. see how you can (marginally modify and then) implem...

Anyone who solved it and could answer a quick question via pm?
I think if I ask it in the thread it might provide too much information.

use the source, luke...

ok, here's the deal... this challenge really gets me. I'm pretty sure my solver isn't that bad, but I just can't get any positive result. Would someone who already solved it (and ideally has some python knowledge) please send me a private message? I'd like to have someone telling me if my approach i...

I used JavaScript as well, directly via FireBug: var getText = document.getElementsByTagName("b"); for (var i = 0; i<getText.length; i++){ var getText2 = getText[i].getElementsByTagName("span"); for (var j = 0; j<getText2.length; j++){ getText2[j].innerHTML = ""; } } wo...

bot is currently running, I just hope 10 levels above DungeonLevel will be enough for the boss :/

in this challenge there isn't really any need for fancy checks like "only pick up the best weapon".

a simple userscript to level up and move around is enough.

Just solved it basically by putting it out of my mind for some time (a month) and approaching it again afterwards.

It's not really "easy", but the decoding is REALLY simple. Once you have the numbers you don't need any book anymore.

Just peek into the term formal grammar.

I had a couple of ideas now... using the number pairs mathematically (add them, subtract them, divide them) was one of the more complicated ones, until I saw the hint about "don't make it too complicated". So I tried using the most simple codes I could think of referred by numbers... word ...

and why the hell should that be a problem? maybe I'm weird, but I solved this only with awk and sort, no problem so far

took me a while, but it really is simple... wget is by far enough, you just need the right switch and the ability to read

Sometimes you just have to look Into the text and Make sense of what feels Pretty weird. you will Laugh at how Easy it was afterwards.

(too much of a hint?)

linux standard tools are your friend, simple enough with vim, vimdiff and sed. won't say more though
