t2’09 Challenge Confusion
Few people pointed out that the size and md5sum of the Challenge did not match. The culprit here was that the size changed when the Challenge was moved from Mac OSX to Linux and thus the md5sum changed as well. The correct size is 1 889 and md5sum d50107540d149eff1d16588dc5a1c1a7. We are very sorry about this – we should have known better.

T2´08 Challenge Winners
T2´08 Challenge proved to be a lot more difficult to solve than we thought – we received only seven correct solutions.
The first one to solve the challenge was Florent Marceau from France. We received his solution three days after the challenge had begun (2008-09-09 13:18).
Fabrice Desclaux, also from France sent the best solution by means of technical accuracy and detail.
Congratulations guys! You are entitled to free entrance to T2´08!
We would also like to thank everybody who attended. If you feel that you would have an interesting challenge for T2´09 please let us know 🙂
T2´08 Challenge status update 2
Sorry for the delay – I’ve been on vacation and my remote access solution did not work out as planned. So far only six people have solved the challenge.
If we do not receive more solutions by the end of the week – we will have a vote on Sunday regarding the winner of the other ticket. Effectively this means that we will publish the results on Monday.
T2´08 Challenge status update
It would seem that the Challenge is more challenging this year – we have not received a single correct answer yet. This is the first time the Challenge has withstood more than 24 hours!
Please remember that you do not have to be the first one to solve it – the Advisory Board will select another winner among the next ten correct answers. The criteria for the other selection is the elegance of the answer. In short, you can win with both speed and style 🙂
