## Solution
This one felt easier concept-wise than the rest, yet it had less solves than [hopscotch](https://github.com/BASHing-thru-challenges/HSCTF-2021-Writeups/tree/main/algo/hopscotch),
[extended-fib-1](https://github.com/BASHing-thru-challenges/HSCTF-2021-Writeups/tree/main/algo/extended-fibonacci-sequence),
[extended-fib-2](https://github.com/BASHing-thru-challenges/HSCTF-2021-Writeups/tree/main/algo/extended-fibonacci-sequence-2),
and [not-really-math](https://github.com/BASHing-thru-challenges/HSCTF-2021-Writeups/tree/main/algo/not-really-math).
I guess there were just too many loops and counters for most people. I mean seriously the code for this was just counter after counter keeping track of the different states
of the calendar. I used a python object for each student that could be updated when I wanted. I slowly built on my Student object model until all the counters and trackers
were in place. This is by no means the most efficient way to do this, but it works fine and still gets the flag.
Here's the final script:
```python3
from pwn import *
class Student:
iter = 1
onlineDayCount = 0
inDayCount = 0
inPerson = True
def __init__(self, inDayCount, onlineDayCount):
self.inDayCount = inDayCount
self.onlineDayCount = onlineDayCount
def getPlace(self):
if self.inPerson:
return "inPerson"
return "online"
def update(self):
self.iter += 1
if self.inPerson:
if self.iter > self.inDayCount:
self.iter = 1
self.inPerson = False
else:
if self.iter > self.onlineDayCount:
self.iter = 1
self.inPerson = True
io = process(['nc', 'class-meets.hsc.tf', '1337'])
io.recvline()
while True:
counting = False
matches = 0
day = 0
month = 0
weekday = 0
date = ""
while True:
try:
data = io.recvline().decode()
print(data)
except EOFError:
print(data)
quit()
match = re.search("(M\d{1,2} D\d{1,2})\n", data)
if match is not None:
break
start = match.group(1).strip()
end = re.search("(M\d{1,2} D\d{1,2})\n", io.recvline().decode()).group(1).strip()
student1stats = io.recvline().decode()
student2stats = io.recvline().decode()
student1 = Student(int(re.search("I(\d{1,2})", student1stats).group(1)), int(re.search("V(\d{1,2})", student1stats).group(1)))
student2 = Student(int(re.search("I(\d{1,2})", student2stats).group(1)), int(re.search("V(\d{1,2})", student2stats).group(1)))
print("Captured:")
print("\t" + start)
print("\t" + end)
print("\t" + student1stats.strip())
print("\t" + student2stats.strip())
while date.strip() != end:
if day > 29:
day = 0
month += 1
date = f"M{month} D{day}"
#print(date.strip(), start)
if date.strip() == start:
counting = True
print("COUNTING NOW")
if weekday == 5 or weekday == 6:
print(date + ": Weekend")
day += 1
if weekday == 6:
weekday = 0
else:
weekday += 1
else:
print(date + f": {student1.getPlace()}\t{student2.getPlace()}")
if student1.getPlace() == student2.getPlace() and counting:
matches += 1
student1.update()
student2.update()
day += 1
weekday += 1
io.sendline(str(matches))
print("[SEND]: " + str(matches))
```
