Which explains why some folks are already marrying their AIs...

*This is a cipher challenge. Do you think you can solve them all? Brag in the comments if you do!*

TO WIN:
- Crack all 3 parts of the cipher. 

YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Each level gets harder. 
- You CAN'T use ChatGPT or another AI.
- Lines starting with `#` are for the solver, while lines without `#` are the original text.

Challenge 1:
```
9/18/24/16/9/12/15/15
#Answer the word to win
```
Challenge 2:
```
#The following are the cipher rules
1.[· => 365ms, - => 100ms]
2.[··· *=> -, - !=> ···]
3.[A => ·, B => ··, and so on]

#Below are the names and durations of audio files that use the cipher rules to encode the word
word.mp3, 3.625s

#The sum of letter values is 59
#hint1: ! means "not feasible", and * means "necessary"
#hint2: 1000ms = 1s
#Answer the quantity of · and - in this audio files
```
Challenge 3:
```
[(Iutmxgzargzouty=!=)][-5(tjp='=qz)][-1(tmknbjdc)][18(stkgdmlwdq)][1(opuijoh=.=)]
#Answer the sentence to win
```
