  • Female voice over

  • 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60

  • You finished the pyramid in under 10 minutes.

  • It wasn't as difficult as you made it out to be.

  • Mr Powell finished in under 8 minutes.

  • Did he?

  • I'll make sure to congratulate him later this evening.

  • You have a very impressive record with us Mr Baker.

  • Nearly 1000 puzzles and codes broken.

  • You must be very proud?

  • Without your credentials

  • It may not be possible for us to be with world's largest manufacturer of mind games.

  • Well I'm glad we're keeping the good people at La Mosty under pressure.

  • As I recall their revenue took a dive last quarter

  • I've always said I'm more than happy to tackle the design process.

  • We have a separate division for that.

  • Your ability with the puzzles we give you keeps our own people under pressure.

  • The 'Safe Guard' took you under 2 minutes to complete.

  • That's probably the easiest of the lot.

  • I saw right through it.

  • I wouldn't even trust it with my bank code.

  • The kids are gonna love it though.

  • Worked out how to read that thing yet?

  • Its not that I can't read it... its just that I don't want to.

  • The media manipulation element of it?

  • Or the fact that society is going to hell

  • and can't work out the cracks in its own system?

  • Frustration.

  • That every time we hand over a pen to some one.

  • Its the equivalent of handing a child a loaded gun

  • hmmm that is concerning but...

  • Ignorance is bliss.

  • I got sick of watching pop culture crap.

  • And people getting hurt for prize money.

  • I only ever watch CMP for the English narration.

  • Congratulations of the pyramid.

  • Under 8 minutes.

  • I forgot... What was the wager in this?

  • I count 4.

  • I count 5.

  • So...

  • You're nearing a milestone I'm lead to believe? You're nearing a milestone I'm lead to believe?

  • Where brain training leads to sagacity and vision

  • I've seen the commercial.

  • How many more puzzles is that?

  • 4

  • 4 to go.

  • I supposed they're gonna hand you a bit of chiselled plastic glued to a frame.

  • Well done... see you in the next 1000.

  • Its no different than growing up a child prodigy.

  • You keep the trophy... your parents keep the dimes.

  • My parents never told me about the dimes.

  • They were smart.

  • Clearly... you missed out.

  • So how many more puzzles must you complete

  • before you reach this miserable triumph?

  • 100?

  • 2?

  • Actually...

  • I'm not that far behind you

  • 22 if you must know.

  • While you were over in New Delhi.

  • Doing God Knows what

  • I was sitting here still pissing off the administration.

  • I did some catching up.

  • That piece of plastic is going to look fantastic on your mantle piece.

  • Any plans for tonight?

  • I'll catch a cab.

  • See where it takes me.

  • Female voice over.

  • You don't like it?

  • Champagne?

  • Yes.

  • It was expensive.

  • I expect you to drink it.

  • Did you have a good day?

  • Excuse me?

  • Did you have a good day?

  • Yes.

  • Thank you for champagne.

  • You're welcome

  • [ alarm beeps ]

  • [ TV advertisement. ]

  • Would you like me to come over tonight?

  • No!

  • You know our agreement.

  • I understand, I just thought you might like...

  • You know that's not our schedule.

  • Goodbye Thomas.

  • [phone rings] Jesus!

  • Well there he is, about time you answered your phone.

  • I've tried calling you back Eliza

  • I guess the life of a diplomat and being halfway

  • around the world doesn't agree with out schedules

  • I'm sitting out side the Embassy waiting for a ride to the airport

  • I don't know if you've been watching the news?

  • But apparently all air travel is on the verge of shutting down.

  • Due to this insurance [ TV news comes on]

  • Where are you?

  • I'm in Istanbul.

  • Something is going on and everyone is getting edgy

  • I've started smoking again.

  • You just need to get home

  • Eliza, I have to go.

  • Still living by the clock I don't like to break routine.

  • You know that.

  • Don't put the Christmas Tree up until I get there

  • I'm serious.

  • You don't do it right... its never symmetrical.

  • Wait until I get home - Right.

  • OK - I have to go

  • [ Phone rings ]

  • Nice tie.

  • Fuck you Jack!

  • Eugene... too bad on that safe crack

  • try harder next time - Jack, Thomas... good to see you both.

  • You have to give us something both a bit more challenging my friend.

  • I was told to dumb things down for you.

  • After you spent an hour on the 'The Tower...

  • Is that right?

  • I guarantee you.

  • Making the puzzles requires a lot more intelligence than solving them.

  • Isn't that right Thomas?

  • If that's what you like to believe.

  • Believe?

  • How ignorant of you.

  • But... don't worry Thomas

  • I'm saving something special for 1000.

  • I hope so.

  • We have to go Jack.

  • Its good to see you again Eugene.

  • I hope you both can fit your ego through the door.

  • Mr Baker, Mr Powell. Thank you both for coming in.

  • Obviously this is a very unorthodox approach, but I have here your next cypher.

  • You want us to solve this?

  • Yes.

  • You have to be joking.

  • Something wrong Mr Baker?

  • I can't open this without my stopwatch.

  • And I don't like to be distracted.

  • I understand.

  • So this is slightly different.

  • One you complete this puzzle.

  • Your contracts with Colourful & Impossible will be terminated.

  • Sorry what?

  • As you may be fully aware

  • these economic developments are causing

  • our parent company Trevilyan Group

  • to make immediate cuts

  • its happening all across the board

  • 20% of city sale staff are

  • being laid off as an immediate cause of action.

  • An Coulourful & Impossible will be

  • ceasing its operations as of next Monday.

  • This is your last assignment.

  • Inside your envelope

  • you will also find a severance cheque

  • for the time you have given us.

  • I understand.

  • This is your final chapter and your 1000th puzzle.

  • My deepest apologies.

  • That we can't congratulate you accordingly.

  • I thought Colourful & Impossible had the largest share in it's market?

  • We do.

  • But ummmmm.

  • But in several month's time I guarantee

  • no one will be buying

  • a puzzle from a shopping mall.

  • The world is about to go through some turbulent times.

  • If I were you

  • I'd be preparing myself for the downturn.

  • What exactly is so important

  • about this cypeher if you're planning

  • to cease operations?

  • We've been saving this algorithm for a long time.

  • We wanted both of you to go out with a challenge.

  • Something wrong Mr Baker?

  • No.

  • No there isn't.

  • Good luck to both of you.

  • We will convene again in 48 hour's time.

  • And I shall prepare your final documentation.

  • [ Phone rings ]

  • - Mr Dade? - Yep.

  • - The package? - Yeah got it.

  • Don't fail me.

  • You got nothing to worry about

  • Jack Powell

  • Powell?

  • Pow-ell?

  • ♪ [ TV advertisment ] ♪

  • [On screen News Reporter ] Welcome back.

  • As the economic crisis worsens.

  • All international and domestic flights

  • by the major airlines have now been cancelled

  • in the wake of IBC's collapse

  • as the carriers can not operate

  • without insurance coverage.

  • The move

  • has dealt a heavy blow to the

  • transportation industry asstoke prices

  • continue to tumble

  • maritime shipping has also come

  • to a standstill which has impacted...

  • Shit!

  • [ Knocking on the door ]

  • [ Repeated knocking ]

  • I'm working Jack!

  • I know. I can't do this.

  • - Can't do what? - This!

  • The code its impossible

  • I don't see a pattern.

  • The colours don't equate to anything.

  • And you know how much I hate colour coding

  • I've tried numbers, symbols, letters,

  • I've even tried both abstract

  • and conventional math equations.

  • Nothing!

  • I've never seen this before.

  • And yet it looks like something a 6 year old

  • did with a box of crayons.

  • What do you want from me?

  • The answer! I want the answer.

  • I don't have it yet

  • I mean

  • I assume you break it down into binary digits.

  • And hack to code from that but,

  • but, what purpose?

  • A legal number?

  • Right

  • its potentially a binary

  • code that's been turned into a hexadecimal

  • number and then colour converted

  • but that doesn't exactly translate

  • into an every day family fun puzzle.

  • It looks incomplete

  • as if there's another piece to it.

  • Nope

  • the longest its ever taken me to solve something is 2 hr 25 min

  • I've been staring at this thing for the last 4 hours

  • 13 squares across

  • 24 squares down

  • 312

  • 6 colours.

  • Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, White and Green.

  • Same colours as a Rubix Cube.

  • Old school.

  • First puzzle I ever completed

  • 6 times world champion for people under 21.

  • Yeah I remember.

  • You beat me at the championships when I was 13.

  • I went home and cried for days.

  • Still can't beat Matt Volt's record

  • 6 colours

  • 312 squares on paper.

  • A Rubix Cube has 54 visible squares.

  • Visible?

  • Right

  • tear a Rubix Cube down and you have 27 individual cubes

  • times those squares by 6 and you have 162 squares

  • 2 Rubix Cubes would give you 324 visible squares.

  • That's not right.

  • No, because the middle cube of

  • a Rubix Cube is never visible.

  • Its just the mechanism, it has no colour value.

  • Take 12 away from that and you have 312: The number on the paper

  • 312 squares

  • 6 colours

  • 52 squares for each colour: In theory.

  • What if what doesn't represent anything at all?

  • What do you mean?

  • Well, White's not a colout its a shade.

  • Any colour could be black or white potentially.

  • What if white's a substitute colour?

  • Like in a slot machine?

  • Right! White is a bonus.

  • [ Beeping ]

  • I need you to leave.

  • What?

  • You've been a fantastic help but I need you to go.

  • Hey! I don't think we should make this a competition.

  • I'm not - Yes you are.

  • You expect to crack this before me

  • I don't do partnerships

  • its me and the clock, you know that.

  • Please Thomas, get over your vanity and realise

  • we need to do this together.

  • The world will not collapse if you collaborate for once.

  • This is my 1000th code Jack

  • I can't share it.

  • Any other one maybe, but not this one

  • its too important.

  • Alright

  • I agree with you.

  • But you know I'm going to come back in half an hour's time

  • and knock on your door.

  • When I have the answer I'll be more than happy

  • to give it to you under our usual agreement.

  • Good luck.

  • Luck has nothing to do with it.

  • You know that.

  • Whiskey, please.

  • Something's keeping you up.

  • I say, something's keeping you up

  • I heard you.

  • Thanks

  • Thomas Baker, right?

  • Have we met?

  • I highly doubt it.

  • The name is Marion Deed

  • I work for the Trevilyan Group as a kind of.

  • Mediator

  • Marion... Deed?

  • I know, girl's name... right?

  • Its on my birth certificate, I promise you.

  • You know, John Wayne's real name was Marion.

  • How exactly can I help you Marion?

  • I'm in the process of writing a final report

  • on our beloved Colourful & Impossible

  • I understand you've been working for the company

  • 2 years now as a puzzle tester and

  • cryptographer

  • 2 years in Tokyo

  • and another 2 in Sydney.

  • And during those 4 years have you ever found yourself

  • questioning the design process behind anything

  • you've seen

  • I asked to be on the design team on several occasions

  • however I was always seen as

  • better suited to be part of what I like to call.

  • Quality Control

  • I've read your file.

  • 1000 puzzles.

  • That's errr, that's impressive.

  • I imagine some would have been more challenging than others?

  • How bout we skip the part where I tell you

  • about every puzzle I've ever played with and you get to the point

  • of why we're having this conversation.

  • A man who doesn't like bullshit.

  • I like that.

  • Have you ever seen that before?

  • I don't have my glasses.

  • Here, use mine.

  • I don't know what this is

  • is that right?

  • That's not a code Marion.

  • That's a bunch of coloured squares.

  • You don't see them representing anything?

  • No.

  • Now, if you'll excuse me

  • I'm going to have room service bring a bottle of scotch

  • to my apartment so I can drink it in peace.

  • You know, ummmm

  • I read some molecular models are represented by colour

  • and they look like codes to me.

  • You're right.

  • What are you doing?

  • Molecules.

  • Oxygen/Red; Nitrogen/Blue.

  • Chlorine, Chlorine/Green; Sulphur/yellow.

  • Phosphorus/Orange and Hydrogen/White.

  • And what does that equal?

  • It equals... I don't really give a fuck!

  • Goodnight Marion.

  • [To himself ] Pick up Eliza [ Phone dailing ]

  • Thomas?

  • Yeah, Where are you?

  • I'm still at the embassy.

  • The airport was unreachable.

  • You couldn't get a private jet?

  • There was nothing available.

  • The airport is completely shut down.

  • - Are you safe? - Its hard to say.

  • Several people tried to leave in a car

  • and they said they'd call when they got

  • to the boarder, but I never heard from them.

  • OK. You just need to hide

  • I know.

  • Thomas, something is going on here

  • and I really don't know what to do

  • I'm really scared.

  • You'll be ok.

  • Everything will calm down

  • [ Disengaged signal on phone ]

  • I solved it.

  • Congratulations Mr Palmer

  • 22 hours.

  • Worst puzzle of my life.

  • You almost had me there on that one.

  • Blatantly obvious however.

  • Sometimes switching your mind off

  • is the best method.

  • Yeah.

  • I have to tell myself that when I approach a girl.

  • When the airport reopens

  • you can go home a very proud man

  • well... I hope so.

  • My brother and my father lost their jobs today

  • I'm just luck I saved as much as I could.

  • As you may understand.

  • The apartment will need to be

  • vacated by the end of the week

  • I'm sorry about the inconvenience.

  • That's alright

  • I'll find a cheap room somewhere.

  • White.

  • Yellow, Green, White, Yellow, Red.

  • NO!!!

  • I assume you have something for me?

  • No! No I don't.

  • I don't.

  • I can't break it.

  • Am I hearing you correctly Mr Baker?

  • You're hearing me just fine

  • I don't know, I couldn't crack it.

  • I need more time with it.

  • You know I can't allow that.

  • Look!

  • I don't expect you to understand

  • but doing this is my life.

  • I can't do anything better than this

  • I need to break that code.

  • You don't have to pay me, just let me work in it.

  • You signed waivers

  • with Colourful and Impossible stating

  • you would not work on any code or algorithm

  • outside of strict working hours.

  • Subsection 54A

  • of the employment contract states

  • that once you cease employment with this company

  • you would not work on any puzzle

  • or code

  • for the next 12 months.

  • By handing me back this piece of paper Mr Baker.

  • You're now officially unemployed by this company.

  • You even look at the code

  • and we will see you in court.

  • You have until the end of the week

  • to vacate your apartment.

  • Do you understand me Mr Baker?

  • Just give me the answer then.

  • - The answer? - Yes!

  • Just give it to me.

  • If you want the answer Mr Baker.

  • You will find it on page 5.

  • Of the last edition of Colourful and Impossible puzzle book.

  • The kids are going to love it.

  • We need to talk.

  • Right now?

  • Right now!

  • I've been told to return home.

  • Yes, I know.

  • Well, this is the

  • end of a great era.

  • Everything changes from here on in

  • I suppose.

  • What's this?

  • You know what that is.

  • The Samurai never did anything shameful

  • or he would avoid falling into the hands

  • of his enemies.

  • You say seppuku.

  • Yes.

  • An honorable way to die.

  • Disemboweling would seem a little extreme

  • I'd hate to get blood on the carpet.

  • I brought no shame to this company.

  • No. Not yet.

  • But in time

  • maybe.

  • Sudo you knew this was coming.

  • What makes you think I want to lay down my life?

  • Its quite simple really

  • [ Mumbles ]

  • [ Japanese ]

  • I would recommend lying on the floor.

  • I guess this is the last time we cross paths.

  • How horrible.

  • So how'd you go?

  • Wasn't easy.

  • Do I dare ask how long it took?

  • 18 hours.

  • Congratulations

  • it took me 22

  • and surprisingly I didn't need your help.

  • You've done it

  • 1000 puzzles.

  • No, don't bother

  • I couldn't have cracked it without your help.

  • How?

  • The Rubix Cube concept?

  • Yeah.

  • But it had nothing to do with it.

  • You didn't crack it did you?

  • My God,

  • the great Thomas Baker couldn't crack it.

  • What was the answer?

  • Are you serious!

  • Fuck me! This is a new scenario.

  • Alright, I'll pay up. Just tell me Jack!

  • Ah... I don't know

  • I'm accepting defeat here.

  • Pick up Sticks?

  • You'll enjoy it.

  • Is this a joke?

  • I'm not giving you the answer Thomas.

  • Its too easy.

  • This is just a token of our friendship.

  • Alright! I had better continue packing

  • I thought I'd spend a week in Kyoto

  • while the airports sorted out their predicament.

  • You do realise you won't be going anywhere any time soon.

  • Maybe

  • but its all politics at the end of the day.

  • I don't think it can get much worse.

  • Goodbye Thomas.

  • Ah, Mr Powell, please come in.

  • This is trespassing.

  • No no, I'm allowed to be here.

  • Right, well would you like to explain that?

  • Please.

  • My name's Marion Deed

  • I work for the Trevilyan Group as a kind of.

  • Mediator

  • Marion?

  • I know, girl's name right.

  • It's on my birth certificate, I promise you.

  • You know John Wayne's real name was Marion.

  • What can I do for you exactly.

  • Mr Deed?

  • I got a code I want you to take a look at.

  • Ah, I can't do that.

  • You can't or you won't?

  • I signed waivers that stated I wouldn't look at a code

  • for the next 12 months.

  • This one you've seen before.

  • Is this some sort of joke?

  • There's no fun and games here.

  • What exactly would you want to know about this?

  • What's the answer?

  • Something funny?

  • No. It just you're not the first person to ask me that today.

  • Look, if you work for Trevilyan Group

  • you can easily access the answer to this.

  • My manager Mr Sudo can help you if need be

  • I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

  • Mr Sudo was on his way back to Chiba this afternoon

  • unfortunately he never made it to his destination.

  • His body was found a couple of hours

  • ago in the Coulourful and Impossible offices

  • and is temporary accommodation

  • here was found ransacked

  • I don't understand.

  • Colourful & Impossible is a

  • dangerous company

  • beneath the image of ah...

  • family tailored products you will find a much more

  • complex

  • organisation

  • I'm sorry... complex?

  • Well, you're the genius... you work it out.

  • Call me dumb, but is there a reason to this conversation?

  • During Worlld War 2 the British has 9 cryptographers

  • working at Bletchley Park, it was their job

  • to intercept communiques from

  • German High Command, even from Hitler himself

  • its widely believed that

  • the war ended two years earlier

  • and countless lives were saved thanks to thier

  • wits and their abilities to solve complex codes

  • 2 years.

  • A lot can happen in 2 years

  • I'm sorry, they look like fun.

  • May I?

  • See, now this would piss me off

  • I've no idea how you guys do these things for a living.

  • How does your brain not get fried?

  • I suppose it stimulates my brain

  • as opposed to frying it

  • you still haven't answered my question...

  • the point I'm trying to make Mr Powell

  • is that if it wasn't for those nine cryptographers

  • history might have been written very differently.

  • Is this some sort of Enigma Code?

  • Because if it is, it fairly basic.

  • Ahhh... it would depend on how its used I suppose

  • true

  • I'm sorry, I'm still at a loss as to why you're here

  • are you making some kind of threat?

  • No, no, no! Why would I?

  • I'm here simply with the

  • unfortunate news about Mr Sudo.

  • The Trevilyan Group just wants to protect its assets.

  • Then why do you want to know the answer?

  • Well... Ah...

  • I need to know what I'm protecting.

  • Do you have any beer?

  • Ahhh... Sure, in the fridge.

  • I didn't mean to startle you Jack

  • I'm sorry I shouldn't have come across so serious

  • and elusive.

  • How'd you do that?

  • Its rather simple really

  • once you know what you're looking for.

  • Would you errr...

  • mind showing me?

  • Sure.

  • At first you think each colour represents something

  • red, green, yellow...

  • Red.

  • Blue.

  • Blue.

  • Eidetic memory my arse.

  • Are you lying to me?

  • How many others are there?

  • Others?

  • Designers!

  • I don't know.

  • Not all of us are based in Tokyo.

  • You're puzzle could have come from anywhere.

  • Are you OK Thomas?

  • You are not your usual

  • prim, proper self

  • I'm fine!

  • Don't worry.

  • You're not afraid of me are you Mr Baker?

  • You have something I want.

  • Do I?

  • You know you do.

  • I want to finish it

  • and you want to make sure the answer is correct.

  • Maybe

  • I'll be at my apartment.

  • Celebration?

  • I don't think you understand the importance of me breaking that code.

  • I've never backed down from a puzzle

  • never!

  • But he did it

  • by placing stickers and valcro on each of the squares.

  • I call that determination.

  • You see anyone can solve a puzzle

  • it just comes down to how you discover the answer.

  • Sometimes its about altering your perspective

  • rearrangement

  • or even just dumb luck.

  • And... how did you discover your answer?

  • Well it wasn't the usual way I go about things.

  • I have one request before I hand this to you.

  • I want to compare my answer to Jack's.

  • I assume you approached him

  • and knowing Jack

  • I assume he gave it to you.

  • I worked with Jack Powell for 2 years.

  • We always had a wager between us

  • as to who could solve something first.

  • Only ever twice did one of us have an incorrect answer.

  • Puzzle 405 it was for me.

  • It was a letters and numbers code where I

  • accidentally misread an 'L' for a number 1.

  • Puzzle 280 it was for Jack

  • it was a rectangle on paper broken up into 80 pieces

  • it was made up of 2 colours.

  • Red & Green.

  • People who are colour blind can't

  • generally tell the difference between red and green

  • Jack could solve a Rubix Cube because

  • like the blind man he compensated the

  • by using symbols.

  • So I assume what ever answer Jack gave you

  • is actually incorrect.

  • Bastard owes me $500

  • I'm sorry?

  • Its wrong.

  • Well I...

  • guess it doesn't

  • really matter.

  • I got your copy now.

  • I was watching TV earlier this afternoon.

  • I only watch CMP because its in English.

  • A sudden realisation hit me

  • [ Off-screen News Reporter ] Reports that many short positions in the.

  • IBCE Scandal have now been

  • linked to the Travilyan Group.

  • No signs of foul play have yet

  • come to light with the Travilyan Group

  • dismissing the events as nothing

  • more than a remarkable coincidence.

  • Regulation authorities are

  • dumbfounded as how Travilyan would have

  • foreseen the collapse of IBCE

  • and that there by reluctant to put their actions down

  • to pure speculation

  • given the amount of losses Trevilyan would have

  • had to face if their bets turned out to be wrong.

  • Chargers of insider trading have

  • not yet materialised due to a

  • lack of evidence.

  • Trevilyan Group is the parent company of Colourful & Impossible

  • and telecommunications giant Citicell

  • am I not correct?

  • You are... Yes.

  • The insurance company IBCE

  • miscalculates its risk assessment algorithms

  • forcing it to declare bankruptcy.

  • Yet somehow Trevilyan Group is one of

  • the only organisations to walk away unharmed.

  • Well.

  • Not exactly.

  • Good people like yourself are our of a job.

  • Its risk assessment algorithms

  • and what could possibly disrupt that?

  • A code.

  • A code you manufactured

  • and then feed through your telecommunications branch undetected

  • a pattern unheard of because when you break

  • it down all it looks like is 6 insignificant colours.

  • Do you really think something as simplistic and childish

  • as playing around with wooden toys is going to

  • be responsible for a world wide

  • economic collapse?

  • Well you are sitting across from me Marion

  • or would you prefer me to call you 'John Wayne'?

  • I looked at Travilyan Group's database

  • your name doesn't come up at all.

  • If you're smart Mr Baker.

  • But I didn't come here for the code.

  • I came her simply to see if you could crack it

  • nothing more.

  • You see...

  • I do unofficially

  • work for the Travilyan Group

  • but you won't find my name listed anywhere

  • my job is to protect their interests

  • their interests are with the code

  • anything else is expendable.

  • How do you know what I've written isn't incorrect?

  • What you've just handed me is irrelevant really.

  • The truth is Mr Baker

  • the reason I'm sitting across from you now

  • is because you're too smart for your own good

  • someone like you makes for a very

  • valuable witness on the stand

  • Christ

  • I'm not that smart.

  • Yeah, I'm beginning to realise that.

  • You're also a terrible liar

  • Jack Powell was not colour-blind

  • nothing escapes my attention, I guarantee you.

  • I couldn't break it

  • I need the answer!

  • You didn't think I was dangerous did you?

  • I assumed you were from a rival company

  • posing to be part of Travilyan Group.

  • When I took this job I was actually rather nervous

  • I mean you're clearly smarter than me.

  • I imagined I'd be

  • outwitted and made to look like a fool

  • but you're not very good at seeing the bigger picture

  • you lack...

  • life skills and the ability to sense danger

  • look out the window

  • the world is falling apart

  • do you even care?

  • Do you even notice?

  • This is my life

  • I'm nothing without it.

  • Look at you

  • like some drug addicted teenager.

  • But.

  • You got your answers now Mr baker.

  • You never did mean allowing a lion into your den.

  • You can rest easy knowing you've seen the solution.

  • The code that changes the world

  • I can solve it

  • and here I am cheating.

  • Its not the strongest of the species that survives

  • or the most intelligent

  • its the one most responsive to change

  • Charles Darwin.

  • Well done.

  • Well done

  • I'm ready
