I just noticed something in the HTML that was a bit different than I was expecting ;)

Re: Level 5

So i came to a point where i have a weird 3 dimensional array after decrypting the *.p file using the peak hill module. Now im stuck with it. I know i have to arrange the characters using the other info on the array but i cant figure out the algorithm. Any help?

edit: got it.

Re: Level 5

Reading the hints is making me feel old... I didn't even see the Unix relationship until the second time I saw reference to it. I did, however, see what to do with the final data within seconds, because it looked like something I used to do to practice in typing class back in high school -- back when we learned on typewriters, not computers, and everything was monospaced. From there, it was a matter of looking to make sure there were, in fact, square brackets, and processing it appropriately. Oh, and resizing my IDLE window, but that was pretty obvious by the time I saw the output.

Re: Level 5

Enjoyed it a lot.

Well after I realized that I wasted like two hours trying to decipher the .jpg file (and I wondered the whole time how you could put information in there without destroying it). Because I saw in the peak hell for an example on the internet (never used that thing before) that it could give a byte structure like \x80 and like that I could un-peakhell my example but I couldn't really find usefull words in the -jpeg - lol. So after looking through the website source for the forth time I got it right xD

So I learned a lot about lists but I still have no clue what the peakhell function is actually for (I just started learning python yesterday).

So another hint for beginners: add the numbers you get from peakhell and look for the [ ] - you might realize something =)
