wtf???
There is a logical solution to this – you should take this as a hint 🙂
“There’s more than one way to do it”
Darn it, stage two won’t accept my link. Could it be? Am I doing it wrong? 🙂
You are doing it wrong 🙂
I assume stage 3 is not brute forcing ?
No, it is not.
When will this challenge be closed?
It will be available at least couple of months. However, if you would like to earn a free admission to the conference you should hurry 🙂
what do i do with file pgm in level 1?
Assuming you’re a Windows user you could try Notepad -> File -> Open …
Could you give a hint for us stuck at level 1?
Sometimes it might help to sit in a Bar and Code.
Mario ref. made me laugh 🙂
What about us at level 3, should we have a chat with Rji and Del ? 🙂
Is level 3 like level 1, just with some “hidden” things..?
