Nice challenge. A lot of fun while solving it. But I never got a response after sending the code and resume to the email address specified in the challenge result...
Nice little challenge, it's a tree-based request system that requires you to renew sessions and work within the rate-limit, but once you get all the letters you can effectively rewrite what was intended. "worthy" indeed.
While I was able to get all the letters of the secret message, I can't understand how to decrypt it :( if you did, could you give any suggestions? :) Indeed this was fun!
I wasn't looking for job and I'm not too much into web, but I clicked at challenge and spent like an hour on it. Good job on challenge, very interesting.
