Ruby Challenge

Hi Quizzers,

if you haven't seen it yet, take a look at http://www.pythonchallenge.com

They call it "Python Challenge", but of course Ruby can be used, too.

Have fun,
Pit

Ruby can get you through a few pages. But pretty soon you run into a
serialized Python object.

Indeed, the peak hell problem requires Python. The one after that
however can be accomplished with Ruby. I am stuck on level 7 now,
smarty.

Shame, hit the same wall. Anybody have the answer (send off list) so
I can see what follows?
Or, is there some way to emulate the python lib in ruby?

So was I, until I used an image editor to retrieve the grayscale values of the magic pixels. After that, it's pretty straightforward, if I remember correctly.

I'm stuck on level 12, myself.

Using only Ruby, I'm at level 8.

I looked at the module in the Python sources via the web interface to the CVS repository. With those infos I could decipher the file format and write a Ruby script to get at the important data.

Tell me if you need more help. I'm currently stuck at level 7.

I may just go that route, but probably not until tomorrow.

I may go that route instead, but the same time :wink:
