Re^2: Programming Puzzles

If you google around, you'll find the solution to this one, level 5. Consider that the puzzle in itself.

Solution (
it turns out to be a banner that says "channel"
)

The next one will prove to take a bit of effort, but after playing w/ their hints for a while, i was able to get something recognizable. Then it was a matter of shapping the output. It's much harder, I think, than doing it in python, but most are doable in perl too.

Can you really manage level 6 without using Python (and a recent Python at that)? Without giving too much of a spoiler, it seems like a critical bit of information is encoded in some way that the standard tools for working with this file format don't seem to be aware of. Update: nevermind. I needed to read the documentation more closely.	[reply]
