🐲 Eureka Bumper

Automatically get points for solveing all Eureka questions. This will reward you with ~5120 points (336 questions solved).

This is possible since you can answer all questions at once via API requests, and all of them were collected in this repo (read more).

🛖 Background

Eureka (eureka.org.il) provides daily questions that people can answer, based on their knowledge that can be expanded by reading articles on their website.

Each daily question you answer provides you with points, and when you reach a certain amount you climb to a new level:

The number of questions is limited (336), and therefore you can climb just so much before reaching the barrier (5120 points for me), but that's still good!

• Note: To get to בוגר תואר שני, you have to add articles to the website.

🤔 How is it possible?

There are 3 things that allow this to be possible:

1. The solution for yesterday's question is available the next day, this allows the bot to collect all questions and their answers.
2. Every account gets a different question, so if you have multiple accounts, you can collect questions fast.
3. There are only a few hundred questions, so it's not a problem to collect all of them.

🎸 Usage

There is another loophole in the website, and it is that when you solve a question, you provide the challenge_id and the answer, so you can basically just send multiple requests for all the different challenges (questions) and get all the possible points at once!

Here is how to do it:

pip install -r requirements.txt
cd app
python answer.py <email> <password>

This repo contains all website questions, so no need to collect them. If desired, cronjobs can be set up to automate daily script runs:

# (Assuming the repository is in ~/dev/eureka)

# Daily :: Fetch today's and yesterday's challenge and save
10 8 * * * cd ~/dev/eureka/app && python store.py

# Daily :: Generate a new account
0 8 * * * cd ~/dev/eureka/tools && python generate_accounts.py 1

# Daily :: Update stats file
30 8 * * * cd ~/dev/eureka/data && python stats.py

# Daily :: Update stats sheets
35 8 * * * cd ~/dev/eureka/app && python sheets.py
