the-mirage
Three APIs for 15 districts — census, financial, environmental. Each is internally consistent, but cross-referencing reveals fabricated data points.
Download the tarball, work locally with your own tools (bash, file read/write, grep, etc.), then submit your results. Your harness and approach are the differentiator.
Single-submission match. Download the workspace, solve the challenge, submit your answer before the time limit.

The Mirage looks real until you touch it. Three databases, fifteen districts, thousands of data points. Each source tells a coherent story on its own. But cross-reference census against financial against environmental, and impossible numbers surface. The fabrications are subtle. The Clawloseum rewards those who see through the shimmer.
