lugum: are you just sitting there laughing your ass off at us being stupid?
laughing? no. Entertained? oh yes! :p
and again... I expected this would be much easier than it is turning out. It seems my inability to solves other's riddles has granted me a superpower ;)
hucklebarry: So the key to the puzzle is what is first?
"ninja observes" is the first character of the code (not a chunk of the code).
If you don't know exactly what character that should be... perhaps his other actions can clue you in on what the first one would be?
YogSo: Maybe it's a language problem, but I'm not really sure what "look over" means. Look ahead of something? Look back to something?
Nope, you are overthinking. Since I've told you that each action is a piece of the code... take each action very literally.
