because in this forum topic every one said that they did it "ctrl-c ctrl-v style" and the time limit would suggest it as well.

but I guess I'll have to look into it..

Automated submission is the way to go. I used:
import urllib
import urllib2
import re

I logged on to hts and then set my cookie in my code with strSession=" " instead of trying to make my code log me in and then go to the mission page, it's easier that way. Also since the answer is a POST form it requires adding 'submitbutton' & a value to urlencode, if you decide to go that route.

Great level! Had me stuck at the beginning; didn't have a God-damn clue what composite meant!

(I must confess, I'm having some trouble as it always says my answer's wrong, even though I'm sure they're right, after manually checking out my answer *yawn* )

Use this set of values that I had posted on page 2 and see if you come up with the same answers:

Thanks for your response V helpful, ty.
I'd originally forgotten to stop my shifting function from ignoring the numbers. Unfortunately, my program still isn't managing to cope with the task... (*Irked* )

Wahey!! Finally got it working! Thanks again

Hi, I was wondering if I did this correctly:

answer: dxmzwxyvp@w$xyb$zufnws$ue111435

By getting the same answer as the poster above, I believe I did it correctly. This leads me wondering if I did something wrong with my python coding when submitting the answer. Can anyone see what I did wrong? :S

Thanks

Im gonna try to do this in C, console application, so I don't think I'll be able to paste the answer before time runs out... but we'll see

forget it ... you have 3 sec for the whole thing, you wont have any chance to do this by hand.
Write a proper tool to fetch this stuff from the website ... if you dont know how to do this in C you could also use some kind of external application to do the web stuff (like wget ...).
On the other side, you would learn something if you write the whole www-stuff in C ... i mean http is a very simple protocol its not that hard to write some lines of dirty code to communicate with a webserver.

So how do I submit the answer? I've been trying for a good 4 hours just trying to submit my correct answer that solves in milliseconds but takes longer to copy paste it in. I originally coded this in Java, realized I can't copy and paste in, takes too long. I then converted my code into Javascript and was hoping to use JQuery to write in the answer through an IFrame, I couldn't get that working. I then tried to write a Greasemonkey script, that didn't work, I get a 'document' is undefined error. So, I see most people submit the answer through their program. If I use my original code, how would I submit it with Java?

Hello, I wrote the code in PHP, so I just copy/pasted the answer... BUT, then I realized that I made some mistake. And I think I got my mistake, the numbers are the problem... but I dont know where I made that ...
This is the algorythm no? ::

sum(prime numbers) * sum(non-prime numbers)

I have the following result: 115140 (404(nonprime)*285(prime)) instead of 111435

[Defience]

Make sure you have no '1' or '0' in your lists. You should be getting this: 111435 as the result of the numbers and yes, that is the algorithm for it.
