  Something from 3 till 6, I think. More exact knowledge shouldn't be necessary (and it may be on purpose, but only Sphinx knows¿).

  This is maybe the only problem where one should think of a more effective algorithm than the simplest one...

  Doesn't it say 'Two slow' ?

  I think that includes the time limit ;)

  It is possible to solve that challenge by the obvious approach. The strings are too short and sometimes easy to solve. ;)

  It says "too slow" but it does not tell the timelimit.

  Can someone confirm that this is to solve the Longest Common Subsequence.

  For example:

  String 1: "xpkwadpobpwqmzwzhlxfwdjsolzqniyraexopmixjjokkgjmwwexjurt"
  String 2: "fkefyzxtsavhmfrfyipqmhsaaydazmgmarwqquislozbmjdfctlpxxdj"

  LCS = "kapqmhsyamgmwut"

  I can submit in less that 1 sec but always wrong and no message about time limit.

      :) Sphinx, I think you somehow demystified this challenge. Still a great one but now without the aha-moment I had while solving Formless.

      For some reason, I keep getting an error page upon accessing the challenge (even after logging out and in again).

          Yeah, it still worked about 15 minutes before Sphinx went offline. I'm guessing he cleaned up a bit to rigorously...
