Yea, as I read through the comments here I understood that was the idea. It's just I was expecting something more.... substantial to get "invited" to a hackathon, especially if you only know my email address and that I can construct valid HTTP requests in the language/program of my choice. For example, not including the jQuery library in the source code would have been better imo, so we would at least have to problem solve a little. Just my thoughts, I wish I could go to something like this but I can't so I am just complaining here instead :)

Guess I came late to the party. There was no jquery there when I did it and the fun thing I learned was I could load jquery from the console.

So I solved the puzzle about an hour ago and received an email within about 5 minutes after finishing it. When I went to register for the event though, there was no option to sign up as developer/hacker. The field only has N/A next to it on the event brite page.

Is it supposed to be like that?

no you didn't get the real invite. It will come later today or over the weekend. It will be a ticket, not a sign up.
