(To be fair, this is pretty much a very fancy coin flip)

EXPLANATION (For not Nerd Mode)

Each computer has 2 passwords and a keylogger virus. Each computer's goal is to obtain the file from the other. One computer has to find the other one's file before the other one finds it's file to win. To find the other computer's file, it must: Brute force the three-digit "Backdoor Password". Then, it must keylog the other computer which takes 30-50 seconds. After the other computer has been keylogged, it may then start brute-forcing the other computer's more complicated three-digit "Database Password". After 15-25 seconds it will obtain the other computer's file.

EXPLANATION (For Nerd Mode):
The RNG Skill is increased each time the corresponding PC succeeds in completing a puzzle for a random amount of time. This RNG Skill is used later during brute-forcing.
When the computer brute-forces through the Backdoor Password, the other PC will open itself up to give hints every 5-10 seconds (Randomized). During this time, the PC will start Keylogging. Every five seconds (minus the amount of hints obtained) the Keylogger Status will increase by 1. When it reaches 10, the Database Password will begin being brute-forced. After this, the PC will find the file and take from 15-25 seconds obtaining the Database File. When the Database File is obtained, the PC who obtained the other PC's file wins, and the project ends.
