Earlier this year , I made a start on The Seint's 2023 challenge, getting to Step 5 before work intervened. It's hard to believe it's the middle of July before I've had chance to pick it up again! An explanation of the challenge and how to test your solution for each step is explained in Part 1 , so let's press on. __________ SPOILER ALERT! If you want to have a go at solving The SEINT's puzzle yourself, please DON'T read on here, as this is obviously heavily spoilered. __________ Here's the clue for Step 5: step5.txt — Now it's time to move on.
