Hi Raabo.
This might be a little uncalled for but I just wanted to mention a few reasons why I think digit goofed up a bit with this CTC:
1. Why wasn't this contest started during the summer when most of the people were free? At this point of time, many people here have their tests/exams. Most of the digit readers are students, you should have kept that in mind. I myself may not be able to join in from the next checkpoint because of this.
2. You made it too dependent on stuff not everyone is likely to have. Optical drive is going extinct, digit as a technology magazine should be aware of that. A minority no longer owns it. I myself was using my uncle's macbook air so it was a huge PITA to go further with the clues. Add to that the software in one of the clues was windows only, great! You're forgetting the minority here.
3. You should have included the clue pages from the magazine online (in some way which was not direct), this contest being hosted online. Same goes for the dvd. It was a bit hypocritical after seeing the magazine's topic. This one wasn't much of an issue though, since this trend was followed with the previous CTCs and it was obvious.
And I was excited of getting a chance to win a console

You are absolutely right sygeek.Hi Raabo.

if you enter the wrong password to the file, it will report the file to be corrupted.
But I am not sure if I missed any clue in between. Does the qr code come after this-- And that is the __ n*****... in *o** and some ***es ?akshat2112
Ready to help
I got past the qr, but stuck at the change in background clue since last night.
But reached chkpt 3 the shortcut way too

I reached it on friday... but I used the brute force method....
I have almost reached it using the slower method...
about 6 url's after the FOSS one...

It will get you to QR, but I am stuck there. Got the anagram, but not sure which one to use....
I hit a loop on that one.... but I'm not sure... I did it the other way, still hit QR code

Didnt get time yesterday to work on the questions. Anyone give a clue to the FOSS one. Is it the name of the game or something else?
