Level 3

Am I misinterpreting 'sides'? Does it include a character on the next line? (That gets me eight.) Or should I assume the edges of the text block wrap around as in Asteroids?

Nope, no need to go into complexities. If you found only six occurences you did something wrong.

Yes I did, and it was to include top and bottom into 'each of its sides'. I was looking for little crosses...

oooooooooo
ooooooXooo

ooooooXooo
oooXXXoXXX
ooooooXooo

This level is 1-dimensional. But maybe I'll use this idea in future levels...

Perhaps I am doing what vim did, since I get 477 matches. Ehhh....

Oh yeah. Now THAT's an ugly regex...

i got 477 letters but received "Permission denied" when i put the long string in the URL.

if i was wrong, why not give me a "Not found" to rout me ..........

That happened to me, but I think the "Permission Denied" error is because the server thinks we were trying to exploit it. Still don't know what I'm doing wrong, so I gave up.

Any good webserver with the kind of characters you must be trying to input to it..

Hint: The answer is shorter than 477 characters. Much shorter.

here it is rotted:

must be doing something wrong.. can't think what though.. I'm looking for small letters inside crosses of 3 big letters.

Hint: its EXAcTLY 3 big letters, but not MOREtHAN

I got the answer (it's wasn't a particularly long or ugly regex) but the redirect seems to be broken. You have to type in the page you're supposed to have been redirected to? Or was that some sort of mini-challenge between 3 and 4?

Just type it in, and quit y'r bawlin..

No, there is no automatic redirect there.
