Welcome to the repository for the Karelia Coding Competition 2023. This repository details the challenge and my solution that led to a triumphant victory.
The competition's challenge involved working with a scrambled image and a CSV file. The primary task was to rearrange the scrambled image correctly using the clues provided in the CSV file.
-
Scrambled Image: Initially, we were given a scrambled image, which can be seen here: Scrambled Image.
-
CSV File Assistance: The accompanying CSV file served as a guide to unscramble the image correctly.
-
De-Scrambling the Image: After rearranging the image based on the CSV file, the image revealed the final instructions, which were crucial for completing the task. The de-scrambled image is available here: De-Scrambled Image.
-
Final Hint: A crucial hint was hidden in the image's metadata, specifically in the alpha line, which was key to solving the puzzle.
After two weeks of waiting, the results were announced, and I emerged as the winner of the competition!
I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who participated in and organized the Karelia Coding Competition 2023. It was an incredibly enriching experience, full of learning and challenges.
