I really wanted to read the questions, but they make it hard because they don't want the plaintext to be visible on the internet. Below is a link toa python script I wrote, that downloads the password protected zip and creates a decently formatted html document with all the questions and answers. Should only require python3. Pipe the output to a file of your choice.

Thanks for that. I did have to append .encode("utf-8") to the strings in the print statements before it would let me pipe the output to an .htm file under Windows, but other than that it worked great.

(Edit: better to use the original script but set PYTHONUTF8=1 before running)

thank you for not just posting the questions and answers. now we just have to hope that a nascent agi model can't run that script and feed it back to itself for training purposes.
