If they were independent, it would be impossible: E(X + Y) = E(X) + E(Y) if X and Y are independent. (where E(X) = E(x | X=x) is the expected value of a random variable). This is easily provable: E(x | X = x) = \integral_{-\inf}^{inf} x

Level 7 is actually harder technically than Level 8, although Level 8 had problems at their end when there were too many people trying for it, overloading the Level 2 and Level 8 servers and making it hard to get a successful exploit. Once

I didn't use the Level 2 server for #5 either (although I did for #8) - so I suspect that many people solved it the same way.

It seems to be inaccessible for much of the Internet, but perhaps there is a Tor exit node that is hosted close to Wikileak's ISP. wikileaks.ch seems to have two IPs: 88.80.2.31 and 88.80.16.63, both of which are inaccessable from my NZ ISP

I think it should probably be 'Forbidden By Proxy', just like there are separate codes for 'Proxy Authentication Required' and 'Authentication Required'. Explicitly mentioning a proxy is helpful because it discourages the use of this code i

I disagree that it is an elegant solution. Ideas are something that have a resource cost to conceive, develop and disseminate, but which have no cost to the developer afterwards. The more people who use an idea, the better from an economic
