6 lines of pythoncode for 1. puzzle. anyone less?
I believe we get puzzles randomly selected from a pool. Mine was about date parsing. Yours?
Kinda surprised to be challenged like that suddenly, but managed to pull through with my (t)rusty regex-foo. Foobar is fun and well made! Passed the first challenge in a few minutes and will continue tomorrow. Try to start challenges on foobar only when you want the timer to start (e.g., not when you need to go to bed like me..). Thou shan't worry much on the first challenge though, it allows for 48 hours.

comparing two datafiles with suffled numbers to find matching pairs. all pairs have the same quotient. task was to find the quotient and return it as "improvement-ratio"
I passed the crossword! If you fill in the blanks with, say, "a" you can check your answers as you go. I'm now facing a small coding challenge: 48 hours to come up with code with Python or Java (my choice).
Edit: Level 3: 3 puzzles, 96 hours apiece. How deep does this go?

The footer has links to Google. Unless Google is now doing movie marketing. This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.
I got to that site through this movie trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sX... if you look at the paper at 3 second mark you can see the address "146.148.62.204". But now i wonder if its somehow connected with google
Heh.

Can confirm they're both different from mine. I got a palindrome problem.

I suppose that is some sort of HN effect.
I completed a few of these foobar challenges, and I'd love to keep working on them, but it seems to have stopped working for me. I can no longer save files in the editor, and I get a "Not Found" error when I run the verify command. Anyone else run into this bug (and maybe figure out a fix)?
