We are given thousands of 3D coordinates in a text file:

If we represent them with matplotlib using somrthing like:

from matplotlib import pyplot
import pylab
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

x_vals = []
y_vals = []
z_vals = []

data = open("x-y-z", "r").readlines()
i = 0
for line in data:
	points = line.split(";")
	for point in points:
		point = point.replace("\r\n","").split(",")
		i += 1
		x = float(point[0])
		y = float(point[1])
		z = float(point[2])
		if i % 1 == 0:
			if (y//x) < 1.1 and (y//x) < 0.9:
				x_vals.append(x)
				y_vals.append(y)
				z_vals.append(z)

print len(x_vals)
fig = pylab.figure()
ax = Axes3D(fig)
ax.scatter(x_vals, y_vals, z_vals, zdir=u'z', s=1, c=u'blue', depthshade=False)
pyplot.show()

We get a nice 3D flag that we need to rotate, zoom and waste our eyes to finally get the flag.

FLAG: 0ctf{0ur_Flag_L00ks_Great_in_Three_D} (Thanks Mathias)
