Challenges down I'll be disabling the challenges to rework a table. I expect this to be a smooth process so hopefully they will be up in 15 mins ;)
Update: done!
As part of the table re-work, we decided to take away the meta tag "author" in the challenges to save one sql and a [Read More]

5/13 (again!) Hi Sphinx
It might just be my internet connection but I just cannot complete this in time. It takes approx 0.6 to 0.7 seconds for each page fetch and on average you seem to need about 25 page fetches to cover everything (25*0.6 = 15 seconds). I'm happy to leave my [Read More]

problem with challenge I've managed to solve the Sudoku II (Level 4/6)...and I have the printscreen to prove it. However, it says it's wrong. Can it be that the Sudoku has more than one solution and you're not checking against all of them?
For any answers, just write me at sghavoc@yahoo.com [Read More]

6/5 Hi Pha
When I submit a solution to 6/5 (probably too slowly) I get the Rankk error page, presumably this is wrong... I di check the HTML to make sure this wasn't part of the challenge :-)
Thanks for the continuing challenges! [Read More]

3/34 Sphinx, there's an error in the challenge.
The last number should be 2, not 28 :)

Looking for an earlier challenge Hi, I've been trying to find a lower-level challenge that involved a picture with several symbols that look like they came from wingdings. (that wasn't the answer, I tried) I'm pretty sure I solved it a while back, but I don't remember which one it was. I've looked thro

5/13 Sphinx,
What's the order of adding the characters? I'm guessing it's BFS because I got a "Too slow" response with it.
I think 3s is too little for this one. I had to open about 50 links in total so I needed like 50s to solve it.
