Developer only event at SXSW (code puzzle gets harder with more tweets)

<p><pre><code> $data = "http://hackerunderground.com/solution/blank; $ch = curl_init($data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $base = curl_exec($ch); for($i=0;$i&#60;10000;$i++) { $data = "http://hackerunderground.com/solution/$i; $ch = curl_init($data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); if($response != $base) { echo $i; } } </code></pre> I like my solution best. Everyone should try it!

I'm also throwing a hacker only event.<p>It's called stay home and get shit done.

So just to summarize:<p>Elite 'hacker' group claims to hate marketing guru/bullshit tactics, then proceeds to ply the hell out of everyone to spread their concept in a viral Twitter hashtag manner.<p>Granted, I totally just did it because that puzzle was way too easy, but c'mon now.

I wonder if having to manually launch the puzzles show() method is part of the puzzle itself or just a bug. (Checked with Chrome 9 and Firefox 3).

The ways everyone solves the puzzle are much more interesting than the puzzle itself. I made a mysql table with one column set as the primary key and did an insert.<p>This reminds me of this awesome thread on Sitepoint (5 pages of different ways to output the numbers 0-9): <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/php-34/write-loop-php-prints-numbers-0-9-page-580793.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/php-34/write-loop-php-prints...</a>

Well now they are asking for Prime duplicates, and if they keep it going fo the next week, you could end up with some complex puzzles.

Not going to SXSW, but...<p><pre><code> tr ',' '\n' | sort -n | uniq -d</code></pre>

Text editor, break into lines, numeric sort, find the line where the count goes out of sync with the line number.

C#: data.GroupBy(i =&#62; i).Where(g =&#62; g.Count() &#62; 1) .Select(g =&#62; g.Key) .ToList().ForEach(x =&#62; Console.WriteLine(x));

node.js + underscore.js<p>var numbers = [];<p>require("./underscore-min.js"); var dupe = _.reject(numbers, function(number) { return _.lastIndexOf(numbers, number) == _.indexOf(numbers, number); }); console.log(dupe);

solved it with no code by copying and opening as csv, transpose paste, sort, scroll to match column number with number, check for mismatch, bingo!

I'm learning Python (3) w/ MIT OCW and here's my solution (<a href="http://pastebin.com/EQevWQWC" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/EQevWQWC</a>). def dupefinder(lister): '''Function to find first duplicate in a list; Variable to pass to this function should be of type "list" ''' listerdupe = sorted(lister) for index,item in enumerate(listerdupe): if item == listerdupe[index+1]: print('First duplicate number is {0}'.format(item)) return item

Open Matlab --&#62; answer = mode(Copy --&#62; Paste)

Open up web inspector.<p>var arr = (paste)<p>arr.sort()<p>for(var i = 0;i&#60;arr.length;i++){if(arr[i+1] == arr[i]){console.log(arr[i])}}

Since they changed the puzzle to now require finding the prime duplicate number.<p>Is is each number delimited by a (random?) alphabetic letter? Is this to make parsing into Excel/an array harder?<p>Also, even the new 'harder' puzzle is easy to solve in Excel. Maybe that isn't a bad thing, however.

Solved the puzzle with a couple lines of Python ;) Unfortunately, I won't be attending SXSW this year. Boo. If someone can solve that puzzle, I'll teach you all the hacks I know.

What day is the event?
