Code puzzle thread +_+

This isn't good, but I didn't want the thread to stay dormant for a month

Sorry, too old for maths homework.

It's only a second degree equation (and two added bits of information), we've had those before many times in the thread ^^

Well, there's a difference between making sense of a clever text or picture, turning it into an equation, solving it, and being given a raw maths equation to solve.
The first is called solving a puzzle, the second doing a math exercise.

And although, in the end, they both indeed involve doing some maths, somehow the former is fun while the latter... not so much.
At least as far as I'm concerned.

Do you feel like coming up with an actual code puzzle? (or find one you like)
