🎁 Gift Guessing

Della is planning to buy a thoughtful Christmas gift for Jim. There are five possible gifts, each described below. One of them has been chosen by Della-but you can't see which one! Your job is to guess it by entering injected strings and observing how well your text compresses together with the gift description.

Each time you enter an injected string, it is concatenated with Della's chosen gift's description and compressed with zlib (LZ77). Try to find patterns that make compression better or worse and when you think you know, submit your final guess! Make sure to type the exact name of the gift shown in the list below.

Watch Chain

A platinum fob chain, simple yet strong, chosen to honor Jim’s cherished watch passed down through generations. Its subtle shine and firm links spoke of quiet dignity and timeless affection from Della.

Comb Set

A pair of tortoiseshell combs with slender silver edges, meant for Jim’s dark hair that always fell slightly over his forehead. Della knew he admired neatness, and the gift promised everyday grace and care.

Wool Scarf

A navy-blue wool scarf, woven thick and soft, to guard Jim against the cold winter mornings. Each thread carried Della’s thoughtfulness, wrapping warmth and affection around him wherever he went.

Leather Wallet

A hand-stitched brown leather wallet, neat and sturdy. Inside, Jim could tuck his coins, notes, and a tiny photograph of Della. The design was simple but built to last, like their devotion to each other.

Book

A small, leather-bound volume of poetry, its pages soft and faintly scented with ink. The words within spoke of love’s patience and endurance—sentiments Della knew Jim would treasure deeply on quiet evenings.
