Also, there's [Read More]

...and I was happy...
Posted by Pha. Pharaoh aib42 Turkey

...until I saw 7/1 and 7/3. Interestingly enough, those two were the exact challenges that made me quit Cyberarmy/Zebulun. 7/1: The web is just too much full of spam for that. Also, the average lifetime is 1/100th of the average update freq. of the lists. 7/3: Not even [Read More]

2/1 and 5/2
Posted by Pha. Pharaoh Sphinx Singapore

These two challenges were unsolveable due to bugs introduced during the recent upgrade. They have been fixed.

Thanks to Elianeb and begae60 who discovered the bugs and alerted me.

The Rankk interviews
Posted by Pha. Pharaoh Sphinx Singapore

We just got one out with quantntenemy at Rankk's blog. Two more are in the pipeline. Will keep you guessing who they are ;)

Is this challenge working? Decoding isn't difficult, but after entering what I'm asked for I get just 'Wrong' message.

quangntenemy helped to test out the challenge, as I wasn't sure whether it was solveable. Just wanted to put on record that he solved the challenge exactly as is and without any inkling of what the solution is.

Thanks to quangntenemy and good luck to those trying it! [Read More]
