==> Hi, I like an algorithm. So, i make a new authentication system.
==> It has a total of 100 stages.
==> Each stage gives a 7 by 7 matrix below sample.
==> Find the smallest path sum in matrix,
by starting in any cell in the left column and finishing in any cell in the right column,
and only moving up, down, and right.
==> The answer for the sample matrix is 12.
==> If you clear the entire stage, you will be able to authenticate.

[sample]
99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 99 99 99 99 99 99
99 1 1 1 99 1 1
1 1 99 1 99 1 99
99 99 99 1 1 1 99
```

```

Then convert numbers to ascii and

```
echo RkxBRyA6IGcwMG9vT09kX2owQiEhIV9fX3VuY29tZm9ydDRibGVfX3MzY3VyaXR5X19pc19fbjB0X180X19zZWN1cml0eSEhISEh | base64 -d
```

and get flag
FLAG : g00ooOOd_j0B!!!___uncomfort4ble__s3curity__is__n0t__4__security!!!!!
