Python Challenge solutions
Reading time: less than 1 minute The Python Challenge is an old internet puzzle that is intended to be
solved with Python programming.
It can be found at www.pythonchallenge.com.
# Problem 0
URL: http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/0.html
The clue we get is an image of a computer monitor with a post-it stuck on it.
The post it displays the number 2^38. We can quickly calculate the answer using
the Python REPL.
>>> 2 ** 38
274877906944
The hint mentions changing the URL, so we change the 0 to 274877906944 and it
redirects us to the next puzzle.
