Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the secret
message
hidden in a Ruby script, follow the instructions to generate the code
that
will prove you’ve found the message, and report it via eigenclass.org
(more
details at the above address).
Here’s what people had to say about a similar puzzle I made last year:
Wow, I’m really impressed. That was a tough (and fun) puzzle.
– Kevin B.
Thanks Mauricio, you made my day!
– olivier
My head hurts. Took me nearly two hours
– aniero
How long will it take?
Anything from a few minutes (say 20 minutes if you’re having a good day
and
aren’t easily scared off by tricky Ruby code, but I cannot really tell,
it
might take a few hours this time) to several hours. Many will give up
before,
though
If I do well, can I add it to my CV?
If you’ve also mentioned your MUDCRAP-CE (issued by Zed A. Shaw,
MUDCRAP-CE
Master Black Belt Sifu), you might add it to the honors and awards
section.
