📐 Maths at Light Speed - L03 C02

Agent 707, I hope you know how to use a calculator? Of course you do. In theory you should be able to bypass this security gateway to a warehouse we believe holds clues to the whereabouts of a gang we are in hot pursuit of.

The thing is, the gateway was created by someone who loves doing everything super fast! You only get 0.1 seconds to answer the question asked by the gateway. Can you find a way around it? We're not able to formulate an action quick enough.

Tip: Bypass the calculator lock to get the flag.

Need a hint

💡 Hint: Try watching the source code as you are spinning a new set of numbers. What changes when the spin is happening and then gets removed when the calculator gets locked?

Step by Step

  • Click the “Spin for question” button. It should give you an addition or subtraction problem that is locked, go ahead and solve for the answer.
  • Open inspect element over the box you type in. It should open up the details of the box which is “<form class="form" action id="calc-form">”.
  • Change action to “action="/flashfast/answer". picture of source code
  • Type in the answer and click submit, a flag should appear.
