Well first I need to figure out what to zip. I took a look at the HTML source again and found something unusual: the hint looks like:
There’s an extra “<—” in the HTML comment. I believe this is pointing me what to zip. But after I tried zip “html”, “<html”, the whole THML source file, the jpg image, all gave nothing.
I stared at the page again and found the zip looks like a “Y”, so I tried http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/y.html. There’s something there! “It really looks like a Y, isn’t it? now, go back.”
There’s some other thing in the picture! Stared at it again and I found on the top right corner there’s a “<—” like sign pointing to something like “333333″ or “wwwwww”. But http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/333333.html http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/wwwwww.html
All gave nothing.
I also noticed there are chars on the button, “sprint”, and there are something looks like chars in the middle of the zip, something like an “o” or 0, and something like “v”. I tried several combinations but they all gave me 404.
I think the problem is in the title: “now there are pairs”. What does this mean? There’s no “pair” module in the library. The “zip” hint should be related the zip modules or the zip in the picture.
I also tried “yy.html” and several double letters, no luck again.
Wait, there is a PIL module! I’ve heared about it doing things about picture but never use it. Think about the “Peak Hell” and “pickle” thing yesterday. I think this is a pretty good guess.
Well I’ve got PIL installed today. I think I’d leave the document reading to tomorrow. The document is at http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/
