Blackjack Man I hate this challenge...
I wrote a program to play for me, but my connection to Rankk keeps timing out (I don't have a very reliable internet connection, and the rankk server seems kinda slow.), so I never get to finish my 30 min of play time.

...and I was happy... ...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 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 We just got one out with quantntenemy at Rankk's blog. Two more are in the pipeline. Will keep you guessing who they are ;)
The interview was conceived to add a human touch to the site. I think sometimes we forget that behind the username is a person out there in the [Read More]

Level 2/11 Is this challenge working? Decoding isn't difficult, but after entering what I'm asked for I get just 'Wrong' message.
