Hi, everyone and a happy new year!

All challenges for Assignment 3[1] are now live on the CTF
platform[2]. There are 7 challenges graded equally, 200 points
each. What you get above 1000 points is bonus.

The Elven Godmother and Memory Writer challenges are more difficult. The
Sum Encryption challenge is highly difficult; kudos to those who manage
to solve it.
