Maybe there are even harder challenges, ok. But in north there is only "say it" (solved by 4) pointing to the east. And from the east I hoped to get some new challenges after solving this one. One of the two seems to be practically unsolvable and the other one is (my favourite discipline) another damn reverse/crackit.

Guess I have to learn using the HVM...

I think 0 people have solved "a living dead cat in the box", then again I think it doesn't exist

Finding some of the numbers in http://oeis.org/A081130/table definitely costed me a lot
of wasted time. I should have looked at the name of the executable earlier and no, it
has nothind to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_fu ... l_function.
Now i got it.

Am I the only person who did it by running the application? It took a stupid amount of time but running it on a VM seemed like a simple solution for such a difficult problem (I'm at 89, so I'll assume this method works).
Scrap this idea, it sucks... Making a ruby library to do a similar thing is a better way.
