cat 1They never guess the next move: Unplugs pc
Based on the responses in this thread, I feel like you could present this screenshot with a “I bet you couldn’t find your way out of this!” and a zip of the directory, and a significant number of users would voluntarily download it and extract it just to “prove that they could”.
Well yeah? And you do it in a vm. But seems like a decently simple problem anyway.
ls -aland compare the sizes.Obvioulsy whoever set this minefield thought about this
The greatest trick is to make your opponent think you thought of everything. Powering off might just straight up work and they’re just bluffing, might as well try
What if it encrypts the disk when entering the dir and the only way to decrypt it is by winning? Decryption keys will be provided via API at the end.

There’s an Emacs command to do that
C-x M-c M-minefield
chroot, and override exit with an alias,could work

Combat the minefield with a fork bomb. Ain’t no process surviving this engagement.
I can think of a way out:
Just throw the whole PC away. It’s someone else’s problem now!
But that just becomes a Jumanji issue
\cd ~what does this change?
Bypasses aliases and uses the original command
When people don’t know normal things we learned in '92, I get worried.
Instead of acting like an asshole, teach us.
Does it have a perpetual energy source if I unplug it?
