Aurora Pharmaceuticals ran a Phase III trial for a drug called Veltrexa, and the trial's EDC (electronic data capture) system keeps a full audit trail of every edit in a `data_changes` table. Most entries are routine source-data corrections — but exactly one rewrote a primary efficacy endpoint, quietly changing the number to make the drug look like it worked. Recover the original value that was overwritten.
|
|
|
|
Use the provided MySQL shell.
|
|
|
|
Submit the value exactly as it appears in the audit trail, wrapped in the flag. Example: `deadface{1.4}`.
