I gave up on try2hack when they told me to download this and download that..


Getting a decompiler for everything got boring..tho i must admit using the java decompiler in certain places was interesting :)..

Orasu the ss bit is actually very easy compared to the pawn part.....is there a part after teh pawn? Or is that the last part before the application? I'm still stuck on the pawn....dammit anyone have any as Asha said vague hints? Please anybody?

Whatever puzzle format the Pawn bit is in...yeah, that?...well, my mind doesn't think that way.  To me it seems like a lot of guesswork and very little puzzle about it.  Maybe I'd think differently if I could figure it out.  :P

I know we seriously need to limit our recruitment, but I still strongly believe that this kind of challenge is going to keep out extremely skilled and thoughtful recruits.  It would seem to me a better idea to have a slightly more difficult challenge combined with a more stringent application review or trial period.

I solved it a few days ago. VERY tough. The kind of people that can get by are the kind we want.

I'm with Muse.  I don't doubt that this challenge is good, because it's stumped a lot of us.  I do however question the means by which you solve the puzzle.  Again, I don't know the answer.  But if it turns out to be something that doesn't make a lot of sense, then I agree with spending some time making it complex, but solvable.  The lack of clues so far seems to indicate that giving a hint isn't possible, because the only hint you can give would be the answer.

The clues are there.  You just need to be able to understand them.
