The Synacor Challenge was an online programming puzzle created by Eric Wastl, the mind behind Advent of Code.
Challenge spec and binary from @xunoaib's archive.
Solved through some BFS and some digging.
- Here's a code for the challenge website: eLyHEXwFIBaB
this one into the challenge website: gmpJPiyErvJM
Executing self-test...
self-test complete, all tests pass
The self-test completion code is: FZHeGMLDZwMy
You find yourself writing "ESklLhuoGbNn" on the tablet. Perhaps it's some kind of code?
Chiseled on the wall of one of the passageways, you see:
EjDhIEWlRfqW
You activate the teleporter! As you spiral through time and space, you think you see a pattern in the stars...
TyWONZRYgYzn
You wake up on a sandy beach with a slight headache. The last thing you remember is activating that teleporter...
but now you can't find it anywhere in your pack. Someone seems to have drawn a message in the sand here:
RumyDPXUUcVh
You gaze into the mirror, and you see yourself gazing back. But wait! It looks like someone wrote on your face
while you were unconscious on the beach! Through the mirror, you see "lWloIXAbUvxH" scrawled in charcoal on your
forehead.
