I gave it a quick try.

The == at the end looked like base64 so:

Decoding "QzBERTgyNDYKCjYzNkY2NDY1M0EzMzM1MzYzNDJDMjA3Mzc1NjI2RDY5NzQy" gives us:

"C0DE8246

636F64653A333536342C207375626D69742"

Bunch of numbers with some letters up to F? Should be hex:

"code:3564, submit"

The final piece can be decoded using the same process to "submit-code".

Middle piece can be decoded to hex: "0746F3A2068747470733A2F2F7873746563682E65752F" but I didn't get past this because this hex gives me a binary that I could not make sense of.

Better luck to the next :P




That's counterproductive, Felipe, I'd appreciate if you deleted your comment.

Let's see you do the rest though.


i find the fact that you created a HN account just to troll us with your little puzzle to be 'counterproductive'. you're not the NSA, you're a PHP dev house. respect people's time and maybe you'll get the applicants you're looking for


It is easier than that... the interesting thing comes after solving this first "puzzle"


Yeah, it's just a warmup really :)
