Are you smart enough to break this code?

For those of us who have no idea where to start, is there a hint of what to look for at least? Is it just logic? Because there seems to be nothing related to coding in challenge 1, and 2 and 3 looks just like a bunch of GUIDs, which can probably be deciphered if I can find 1's answer.

There's pretty much no logic required.

You just have to recognise what you are looking at.
 
Does a non-coder have any hope? :)

I've so far tried highlighting anything common. Then assuming the .'s delineate words I tried to find patterns between these. I've also tried to find common patterns that may give a clue as to common words like 'the', or 'and' etc... Then I wondered if these were supposed to be numbers and not words but that would obfuscate any meaning too quickly to catch any leads - so that is unlikely. Then I simply highlighted all the enclosed brackets to see if anything stands out. Then I wondered if the symbols somehow correspond directly to movements on the alphabet - but what the hell starts with 'Z' lol. Other commonalities I've noted include where +'s and -'s fall between and after brackets.

Pattern wise it doesn't look like html or php. Doesn't look like java or python either.

After all that I still haven't a clue as to what to look for :D I guess that's me out :o
 
I am not smart enough. Dont have a clue at solving it - moving on to the next thread

Not really.

hehe most development is "pattern recognition" in some manner, be it analysis of processes , coding workflows, capture forms, anything; it's all about recognizing a pattern and doing something around it, even if its as simple as going to the bathroom :p

So at last developers admit that they don't care if the code they generate works or not! We are making progress :whistle:

Bloody hell - I create perfect code every time and that damn tester breaks it every time. We should just get rid of testers!
 
Challenge1: brain**** code - when run displays a message
Challenge2: base64 encoded brain**** code - when run displays a different message
Challenge3: also base64 encoded. the content seems 'encrypted'. decrypting this would probably yield more BF code. Still working on this one.

For 3 - I had some success running the image through an OCR reader - and then dealing with the output after that as with 2.

But from there I'm stuck.
 
^^ you're being trolled.
Kevin and team chuckling in their seats :p

I don't even know where to start, oh wait I don't need to know how to break the code.

When I saw the code, I knew exactly where to start... I took the mouse cursor to the top right hand corner and clicked on that "X". I then proceeded to get another strong cup of coffee. By the time I got there, the code was completely lost on me. What ensued was pure unadulterated bliss, as the pain of all I saw had sufficiently dissipated... :)
