only 250 finally captured the flag!

Wooot! We were a great team! T-shirts for the capturers are on the way.

And BTW stripe is hiring ;) see the PS

Hi Michael,

Apologies for the delayed response, but great work capturing the flag!

This is just a quick note to inform you that we're still waiting on your T-shirt size to 
send you your awesome special-edition Stripe CTF T-shirt. If you've already sent us this 
info, our mistake -- just let us know.

Of the 10,000 users who logged into the CTF boxes, just 250 people successfully captured 
the flag. Congrats! We'll soon be publishing a blog post on the Stripe blog [1] with more 
detailed statistics from this year's CTF, as well as VM images so you can run your own CTF 
at home. Feel free to get in touch with questions, comments, concerns, dreams, hope, 
desires, complaints, vague musings, and especially suggestions for future CTF problems.

Best,

- gdb

P.S. We're hiring -- ping me if you're interested.
