The finale was weird for me, kinda anticlimactic (back to "hello world"); is that how it's expected to behave? No "finished" message or something? Or is my NoScript interfering somehow?

    She is betraying us! Russia alone must save Europe.
    Our gracious sovereign recognizes his high vocation
    and will be true to it. That is the one thing I have
    faith in! Our good and wonderful sovereign has to
    perform the noblest role on earth, and he is so virtuous
    and noble that God will not forsake him. He will fulfill
    his vocation and crush the hydra of revolution, which
    has become more terrible than ever in the person of this
    murderer and villain!
    #     Correct!
    # You have a new challenge!
    # Print "hello world".
    # Hint: There are many ways to print text on
    # the command line, one way is with the 'echo'
    # command.
    # 
    # Try it below and good luck!
    # 
    bash(0)> printf "hello world"
    hello world
    #     Correct!
    bash(0)>

(I would also like it if the site somehow indicated that you got to the end or congratulated you on finishing everything.)

I honestly didn't think anyone would complete all of them :) I'll put something cool at the end, thanks for the suggestion.
