wtf, is this just obscured javascript?

It looks like it's decompiled from something, so all the variable names are missing and instead presented with whatever index they had in the binary.

But that's just a wild guess. I don't know what actual decompiled code looks like.

Edit: scratch that, it's just obfuscated code to make it harder to copy.

I thought it was decompiled code at first to, but the function names are still real words. It's almost like it was manually obfuscated by replacing all the variable names.

I don’t think you’re far off because obfuscated code usually has less structured variable references.

An LLM could probably solve this much quicker than a human.

Then the machines could pass the test.
