Wednesday: Infection
Good morning, Puzzlers! After you recovered PuzzleBot's code yesterday, we were able to boot him up, only to find him spitting out the same phrase over and over again. Unable to get any other response, we decided to do a complete reboot. Now he's spitting out complete gibberish.
We spent a lot of time last night trying to discover the cause, and we've determined that PuzzleBot's backup became infected with a number of viruses while residing on the remote computers. PuzzleBot has an advanced virus detection system, but removal must be done externally. We have concocted an interface for you to eliminate these viruses.
Hopefully, once he's up and running again, Andy will be able to get the information about Calvin that he's been looking for.
Solution
Hints
- Earlier, we found that an image in one of the puzzles was a duplicate of another in that puzzle. We have fixed this issue, so if you downloaded these images before 12:45pm, you should probably download them again.
- There seems to be 1 detail in the bl0g that most of you are missing.
- We've been pretty busy playing this new game called Quadbond. It's pretty similar to an old classic.
