so the numbering is m1m2 around the name of the there's something there so kobe tell us a little bit about what to expect on the puzzle this time around sure so i think you've all been watching bobbin sessions and you've learned for those of you that have seen stars for the first time that starks use air to represent their circuit or let's say their programs and this puzzle is based on winterfell and what you're going to be seeing here is an interesting

air program that has a problem that you will need to exploit and yeah all the details of course will follow in the repo itself um i think i should also give you all the general guidelines that we usually um but maybe you know before that i'm just very very excited to be doing this again like i'm very excited for this music hack and to to do more puzzles and to even try something new with another platform so that's really cool um yeah so the general guidelines

as before the way to submit solutions is going to be using the forms that we have one very important thing do not clone the ripple because if you clone the ripple sorry not clone i mean do not fork the ripple because if you fork it and get up it becomes public and then everyone will see your solution so do not do that instead what you should do is you should use the form to submit the gis or to send us a link to a private repo and invite me to it and yeah when we finish this session in two or three minutes i will post the puzzle link

and we will put it both on the site and on the discord chat also on this chat so that's about it cool and maybe out on this the prize sponsor for this puzzle is alio and as we mentioned at the beginning the builder of this puzzle is polygon so yeah big thanks to both of those projects for well polygon for building it and helio for supporting it with their prep with the price um things changes next oh this is about the prizes so yes top three who actually get the prizes and there's also cool gifts and things that we have planned for
