Re: [Palindrome] Hints for Who's There (Alaska)?



Man, oh man... this whitespace language is a pain, but I managed to get through it. Using "WRONGWORD" as input to the program, I get "ILLUSIONS!" (yes, with an exclamation at the end). Try calling that in.

I got a whitespace compiler and ran it on the perl program, no luck.
Also, just the white space from that file, o luck

If you are making progress, or have ideas, let us know!

Could I get some hints for "Who's There"? This puzzle looks like an encrypted perl script, but it's not a straight encryption. Specifically, I'd like to find out whether the funky spacing is important. And, regardless of the answer to that, try to get any hints on how to decrypt it. I can recognize a few commands from their syntax (e.g. "#!/vwe/pqf/nvvo" on line 1 is "#!/usr/bin/perl" and "ztczb" on line 7 is "split"), but I can't find a pattern for the encryption.
