Synacor Challenge

This challenge was given by Synacor at php[tek] and OSCON in years past. Now, we are opening it up to everyone! This is a programming challenge, but you can use any language you like. As you complete sections, come back here to check your answer codes. The winner during each convention got Apple gift cards and fame. While we're not giving away physical prizes any more, we still hope you'll find the challenges fun and interesting!
