Treasure hunt basically, it gives you this as a clue, which should supply you with the coordinates of the treasure.

Can't you just copy and paste the code into a compiler and then run it?

I can't for the life of me remember regex's so I can't help you much here :P

I don't even know what a compiler is, also I only have this picture, so I would have to type it.

This is C# code.  I interpret it as meaning someone on the team needs a stern talking-to.

Is there no ++ in C#? Is that why there is that distinguished mentally-challenged AddOne function or am I missing something else it does?

tehe. that code has ++ right in there. the AddOne thing is probably just a dumb thing to confuse people. hua

So, there's no way to plug in the code somewhere to get the solution?

I'm not too familiar with C# and its parameter scoping. Shouldn't that AddOne do nothing at all?

well, those are valid coords and they give a location in Hoorn, The Netherlands, so seems legit considering there is dutch in the code.

That's correct.

I'm not too familiar with C# and its parameter scoping. Shouldn't that AddOne do nothing at all?

Technically, it does something, just not anything particularly useful in this case. The variable b at the call site will not be modified, the call is just one more obfuscation of the code. The method and call can be left out entirely.

It's a little box, with a piece of paper you can write your name on.

This was to help out my inlaws, they were very impressed with my skills. :teehee
