Instagram Engineer Challenge solved with Javascript

This challenge is the first real life program I wrote with Haskell.<p><a href="https://github.com/Mgccl/mgccl-haskell/blob/master/random/unshredder.hs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Mgccl/mgccl-haskell/blob/master/random/un...</a> (so it seems I don't like to specify the type of my functions...)<p>Explanation is here: <a href="http://chaoxuprime.com/2011/11/a-solution-to-Instagram-engineering-challenge-the-unshredder-in-haskell" rel="nofollow">http://chaoxuprime.com/2011/11/a-solution-to-Instagram-engin...</a>

Note that image 3 and 5 are slightly NSFW.

I (kind of) solved it with CoffeeScript but thought it wasn't a good idea to publish… if you do it's not a challenge anymore, is it?<p><a href="https://github.com/ricardobeat/instagram-challenge" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ricardobeat/instagram-challenge</a>

Very neat. Makes me kind of embarrassed that I never got around to actually solving this challenge. I've had the web page open on my laptop since it first showed up on HN.

Me too, and no response. I really wanted that T-Shirt... <a href="http://www.solesavoria.com/instagram/v2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.solesavoria.com/instagram/v2/</a>

So is this challenge over? I submitted an entry using Canvas as well but allowed users to drop image in from their desktop (only works in Chrome/Firefox though). Haven't heard from anyone at Instagram.

I solved it in ocaml, I only had this development environment this week end but it was fun. I didn't posted it on my blog but if someone wants it, just ask ;)

Great job! Excellent coding style btw.

so can someone actually explain how this works?

Nice work!

Really impressive work, great job.
