Maboroshi's Mystical Mayhem ~Challenge~

[maboroshi]

Greetings fellow suck-o-teers. Today I offer you a challenge of the mind. The game I present to you now is a window in to my sanity. Should you succumb to the madness .... Well lets just say its very dark in here.

The objective is not simply to find an answer although that is part of it. I challenge you to come up with the solution (Yes, high school mathematics, (Show your work)).

I have compiled and written this very simple software. I ask that you do not expose your answers/solutions to the rest of the people here. I ask that should you have an idea for the solution that you PM me with your suggested solution.

I ask that if you partake in the challenge do not decompile/reverse/debug the code. As this is a challenge and spoils the outcome for yourselves. Should you choose to decompile/reverse/debug the code I ask that you do not share the solution with others until a deemed reasonable time. THIS IS NOT A DEBUG/REVERSE/DECOMPILE/CRACKME CHALLENGE. I will make that very clear.

The technical details:

This Executable is a 7-Zip Self Extracting Package.
You will unpack the folder
Then run the "SimpleChallenge.exe" binary inside this folder.

This is an example of what you should see.

This was written using Kivy/Python

Please enjoy and have fun

*cheers Maboroshi

"kivy fatal error"

EDIT: i should have read the errors looks like opengl version is below the required version, i'll fix that.

[maboroshi]

Can you post a screen shot please? And tell me your windows version. *cheers

Edit * Cool deal, let me know if other errors occur

grr all went well until I read .exe in the name of the file -_- will now have to install win on a vm to join this challenge

[maboroshi]

ya I am a bit to lazy to throw together a Linux/Unix Binary - And well I want the code somewhat closed at this point so it can perhaps be a bit of a challenge

[bad_brain]

oook...finally had time to grab the file, now let's see....

hey hey hey don t post solution only after two weeks , am busy with uni exams for two weeks lol so plz consider waiting for me

[bad_brain]

maboroshi...I hate you...so much....

[maboroshi]

Please feel free anyone participating to PM me for clues. I am not so inflexible that I won't give hints to solve such a challenge

[maboroshi]

So far no one has solved the mind game or even responded with questions or plausible solutions. I encourage people to try the game. Insanity is best with company.

Mabo!

I still didn t try it yet as mentionned above I have stupid exams in less than two weeks in uni so plz consider not posting the solution until then I give it a try , am hardly staying away of my keyboard

[maboroshi]

Hehe all good scatter. I am aware of your situation and I am excited to see your progress with it. The solution won't be posted for a while. You have time.

*cheers

i've tried it, i came to conclusion that it may requires a decent quantity of alcohol, i'll try again this weekend...

[maboroshi]

This still remains unsolved, but I am unsure as to how many are actively participating. Perhaps it is one of those lessons which has no answer? This however, is highly unlikely.
