The OverTheWire Advent Bonanza 2018 challenge for Thursday 13 December 2018
Today we honor the Flying Spaghetti Monster by cooking a meal in its image.
To receive the flag for this challenge, prepare the following dish (or a
variant that fits your dietary requirements) and publically post a picture
with accompanying nametag to twitter, with @OverTheWireCTF in CC.
Bonus 150 points for making the entire dish, including the spaghetti, from scratch.
In that case, post a youtube video as proof, showing how you did it, including the
handwritten note.
UPDATE (2018-12-19): For those people without twitter, we do accept submissions through IRC. In this case, we will post your picture/video on the @OverTheWireCTF twitter account and send you the flag through IRC.
to serve 2.38 people:
- 500 grams of minced meat
- 1 egg (remove and throw out the shell)
- 25 grams of breadcrumb
- pepper, salt, nutmeg
- oil or butter
- 390g of tomato sauce
- about 1 liter of water (or enough to cover the spaghetti)
- 100gr of dry spaghetti
Put the minced meat, egg and breadcrumb in a bowl, add salt, pepper and nutmeg
to taste and mix well. Then form balls of roughly equal size. An ice-cream
scoop is surprisingly useful to measure roughly identical volumes.
Next, heat up some oil or butter in a pan and fry the meatballs on all sides
over medium heat.
Slowly heat up the ready-made tomato-sauce in a pan, together with the finished
meatballs from Step 1.
Boil water with salt and add the spaghetti so that the spaghetti is fully under
the waterline. Stir the spaghetti so it doesn't clump together. Let boil for
the required amount of time (See the package the spaghetti came in, probably
around 10 minutes)
Serve the spaghetti together with tomato sauce and meatballs on a plate.
Don't forget to add a handwritten note with:
- Your team name
- The words "OverTheWire Advent Bonanza 2018"
- Holiday greetings
Take a picture when ready and post it publicly on twitter, with @OverTheWireCTF in CC.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!
