Hi there, I want to submit a new challenge, but I think it's a bit too difficult.
So I'd like to provide a public beta test. Please download the file ul.to/a23q8z76
and PM me the solution.
Thanks

That might well be the case.MyNameIsAlreadyTaken wrote:Imo there are some challenges that are way harder to solve and have less hints on how to do so.
One thing people might want to consider: So far, every Web challenge (except for one - "A Hundred 0s") has had a proper description on what to do, as opposed to many of the other challenges (especially crypto). Personally, I would prefer if people kept it that way. But that is just my opinion and of course without obligation to anybody.

Personally, I feel the same.m!nus wrote:How can one find an answer to a question that has not been posed? I dislike challenges where you just a pile of stuff thrown at you.
I guess some people like the additional difficulty of initially not knowing what the question/task at hand actually is. It might also provide a greater sense of satisfaction when you are able to solve it.
The downside is that also the frustration is much greater when you spend quite some time on a challenge and still can't figure out what to do at all.
