If you've only seen the first set of our crypto challenges (you have to finish the first 8 problems before you get the next set), and you're wondering what the remaining 56 (soon to be 64) problems are like, the crypto challenge Sean just posted is much more representative of the whole than anything in set 1.

We use set 1 primarily to weed out people who aren't serious about writing code.

I sent the email to request the first set of challenges on 10/21 but never heard back

If I've submitted solutions (or what I thought was solutions...) for the first 8 problems, and I don't hear back, does that mean I need to keep working on it? I did submit code.

We're extremely backed up, mostly because of Mail 7. We'll clear out the backlog this weekend, and, moving forward, we're sending challenges out 2 sets at a time.

I emailed a few months asking about an internship in Chicago but got no response. Are there spots open for interns?
