I managed to reach level 8, but cannot beat that one. Is there a solution you know of? (Not asking you to share it, only to confirm)

Can confirm, level 8 is beatable.

Is the current incarnation beatable, or was that a while ago? I'm not making any progress

Just did it again to see if anything changed, my previous strategy still worked for all 8 levels, though the wording takes a bit of finangling between levels. No real spoilers but you have to be very implicit and a little lucky with how it interprets the request.

Definitely beatable as of last week.

The responses aren't exactly deterministic, there are certain attacks that work 70% of the time and you just keep trying.

I got past all the levels released at the time including 8 when I was doing it a while back.

Also struggling. I solved others with psudocode but that's not working here. Trying new strategies with little success.
