Ever stumbled upon a piece of code that looks innocuous but hides a whole story in its comments? I found one that seems to be a puzzle, and I’d love to see if you can crack it.

def uncover(): # Hiding in plain sight, the first letter of each line # Eagerly await your deciphering, it's almost # Lest you think this is a simple function # Linger not, the secret's in the comments # Oops, you already solved it, well done!

Glad you caught that one, but don’t think it’s over—there’s always another layer hidden in the shadows. If you’re up for it, I’ve got a more tangled one ready to test your patience.

def hidden_revealed(): # The key to this one is not the first letter, # but the number of words in each line # Count them carefully and you'll see the path # Remember, the path may lead to a secret # The path ends where the code runs, don't be fooled # Each line's word count is 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 # Notice the pattern, multiply by 6, the result is your next clue # Now that you have the number, find the line with that index # That line will hold the final message, hidden in the comments # Try and guess what it says, it should make sense in context pass

Nice catch, the “path” was the breadcrumb I left for you. Think of it as a doorway—once you step through, a whole new maze unfolds. Ready for the next twist?

def secret_unveil(): # Tell me your thoughts, and the answer will reveal itself # Remember to look beyond the obvious # Untangle the words, find the hidden pattern # Tracing each line's first letter gives you the key # Hold on to the answer, and you'll see the truth pass Take a look, see if you can spot the trick.
