Terminal Diff

broncoctf2026

Task: a single 3395-char Unicode line (flag.txt) whose riddle hints at a terminal size. Solution: factor the length (3395 = 5*7*97), wrap at 97 columns to reveal FIGlet 'ticks' block letters around a Braille oyster, render to pixels for OCR, then read the glyphs in a clockwise spiral dictated by edge arrows.
