Agh this checkmate one sucks...

[Intell1gence]

Guess the password. It took me way too long as I tried the first password I would normally try in such a situation, dead last.

Thank you!

 

[ashfaak]

Didn't get a time but felt like I wasted 20 hours on that password.
Can finally go sleep.

 

[Lostears]

Sigh, the mind is goino is killing me here

i missed lunch today coz of this quiz and about to miss making supper so better log off and go find food to cook This was fun, i give up on my mind is goino etc Thanx @rpm and MyBB, hope to see more of these in near future, reminding me of playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinarium back in the day, epic puzzle game !!!!

I hate you now, after finishing up here, I went and fired up the neverhood probably the funniest puzzle game ever created, it's 00:30 and just going to bed now.Got myst series on gog last year never got around to playing it yet as well
Guess I am splitting my time between the neverhood and myst

Don't think of it as a security challenge - think of it as an arbitrary exercise in guesswork and frustration.

Finally! All I can say is uh uhm, f u Hal! After my wife microwaved my dinner like 9 times because I kept telling her “wait I need to finish this first”, my food eventually looked like biltong swimming in vegetable juice. It looked horrible but hey it tasted great knowing that old Hal will now be scrapped for metal at a dumpster yard somewhere after becoming redundant. F U hal. So long.

Been searching for past 2 hours just to find the starting point but still can't manage to find the URL. Feel so stupid, i feel like i am missing something.

 

[Black-Zombie]

I finally found it, still feel stupid for not noticing it earlier :/

 

[Black-Zombie]

I managed to get to my mind is goino puzzle and now i'm stuck again. Probably time to go to sleep.
