Twelve Days of Hackmas
Welcome to the first Thornhill Secondary School Christmas Capture The Flag Hackathon!
Keys are hidden in sneaky riddles, puzzles, scavenger hunts etc. for you to solve and find! Solve the key, and unlock presents :D
One new present will be released each day, for twelve days leading up to Christmas.
Keys
Submit keys to the judge for each problem to gain points.
Keys consists of strings that follow this format: key{...}
... may be any non-whitespace alphanumeric characters including dashes and/or underscores. Keys may be encoded in different formats, once the key is decoded however, it will follow the aforementioned format.
Keys will either be very obvious and encased like this: "key{example}", or you will need to put the key in that format.
Submit the key{} to the judge in text or output it in any language.
Presents
There will be 12 problems in total, with 1 bonus problem!
One new problem will be added to the contest every day, for... you guessed it, 12 days!
Open a present (solve a problem) by submitting the correct key.
Each person may get 2 hints for presents they are stuck on (except for p0, which is completely trivial). Ask for hints through the computer club Discord server.
Point Bonuses
Every present solved first-try, will reward an additional 10 points. A time bonus is also applied, where one additional point is granted for every 6 hours from the deadline that the AC submission is made.
