From the better link from kevindong:
"A crime has taken place and the detective needs your help. The detective gave you the crime scene report, but you somehow lost it. You vaguely remember that the crime was a murder that occurred sometime on Jan.15, 2018 and that it took place in SQL City . Start by retrieving the corresponding crime scene report from the police department’s database."
- cyberferret 7y agoThanks! This was the key sentence missing from the original link. I hadn't a clue what I was supposed to be looking for, but this is the minimum info needed to get started. (NB: Solved it in a few minutes after I think 8 queries - though I could have combined a couple I think, for even less queries)
- jandrese 7y agoHeh, I was looking at all of the murders in the police report database trying to figure out which one it was talking about.
- reagent_finder 7y agoWhaaat, I wasn't supposed to muck around the DB for 5 minutes trying to find the starting point?
- ct0 7y agoWere you successful at solving the puzzle without the starting clues?
- artlovecode 7y agoDid they change it? That exact sentence is right there
