There was a bit of a leak on the interwebs this weekend, and many people are now aware of a little project I'm putting together that I'm calling the Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever. Each level exists as a web page, and the challenge is to figure out how to get to the next level. To do this, users will have to use ALL of the information available to them. It's not all coding tasks, but it plays on the knowledge of someone who works in the software world.
Some of the puzzles might have you debugging Javascript, others might require you to recognize a font and translate it. The idea is that it's going to require a broad range of knowledge and problem solving skills.
How Do I Get Started?
The initial levels of the puzzle can be found at
http://toughestdeveloperpuzzleever.com. We have put together about 35 levels so far, and are working with others to get this puzzle over 100 levels. If you have questions, we also have a Twitter account set up for this:
