Hint: there's nothing challenging or overcomplicated about it once you've interpreted what you are looking at. I was convinced there would be more to this one than rote code entry, perhaps each line of code masked some logic or a pattern used to decipher a hidden value or letter. But no, it's literally just reproducing the 40 lines of code into an online program.

It finally dawned on me, but sorry that object IS funny -lookin' for what it's supposed to be... an upholstery mzjk maybe...
I DO like puzzles like this that make me learn a little about something I'd have felt no interest in otherwise.

At this point, I'm a little stumped. I drew it pretty much no problem. But I can't tell what it's supposed to be. I looked at the hints, but it just ends with a description of what the object looks like - which I already knew. Well, I'll keep looking at the object until the answer comes to me!

Don't download anything ... try ncviewer.com ... or if you want to get done really quickly just guess - seems to me that the text had way too many not-so-subtle clues for a HARD rating
