minus-squareace_garp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·edit-22 days agoDevinettes app has about 3 or 4 riddles that I haven’t been able to crack in 8 years. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.workingagenda.devinettes/ It gives no answers or hints, just reports ‘correct’ if you type the right answer in.
minus-square𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚎𝚘𝚠@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-212 hours agoCool app! I tried it and I have 7 riddles to go. Which ones have you not cracked yet? Edit: a little break helped, 4 to go!
minus-squareace_garp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoI’d say, your 4 are in this 6: Name your heroine after me. Name me the skin Without this common currency Without you I am incomplete 1 Without you I am incomplete 2 This: Brought by man PS, I am not looking for any answers here at all. (Spoiler-tags do not work in several clients) I’m fine solving these 15yrs later or not at all. The unsolved ones are good for campfires, or travelling through other countries.
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 days agoI think if I tried that, it would only be a day or two before I went digging into the source code.
minus-squareChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoI think they are hashed
minus-squareChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 day agoI think you’re better off with a literal dictionary attack. Knock yourself out: https://github.com/fenimore/devinettes-android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/workingagenda/devinettes/RiddleCollection.java It’s just SHA-1 of the UTF-8 representation of the answer. Note that the riddles, unlike the software, are under CC-BY-NC-ND.
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 day agoInteresting. Looks like it can accept multiple variations on each answer. I was wondering about that I’m not actually going to do it, but I like the system design
minus-squaregroet@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoSo due to the nature of it beeing riddles it is quite possible the answer is bugged and the hash wrong. But because nobody “knows” they have the solution nobody can say it is a bug.
