so it's a it's a famous quote but it may apply here as well uh in very short like we will as always we will publish the puzzle code in a few minutes and all details of the puzzle will be on the puzzle page including links to how to submit the solutions this time by requests of people um we've realized that it might be nice to also include the puzzle description in the github repository rather than just when you run it so we've also included that so if you're curious and you don't want to run it you can also just see the description and more specifically this puzzle is

about a new protocol and that's been invented and some people tried to optimize it and did some mistakes so that's what you will try to exploit this time and also as usual we will release a few hints during the week so that if you having some hard time you will be able to see the hints and use them to solve the puzzle feel free to ask questions in the puzzle chat and we are more than happy to see people forming teams as usual and

i think the last thing that i want to say is that make sure that you know that you don't have to do everything in rust you can also use other mechanisms that could help you like using sage or other mathematical tools but the solution itself must be submitted increased that's kind of the the detail that you may need to know so yes i'm going to release it well anna wraps things up cool okay i also just added a link to the discord in this chat be sure to join that that's where there's ongoing conversation around the puzzle all week and puzzle page is now it's now been shared
