Nooo, thank you very much!
I have always trouble setting one...there's too much vocabulary in the english language

Right... Well done. You're up for tomorrow Peter  
Wait... was it THAT easy peasy? You answered within no time 
|

Easy? I'm not sure...I just had a successful guess...The figures you used pointed toward some tri* and the pattern of repeated letters fitted...

I barely resist to throw in an answer - but the French part confusing me (I can't fit it into the solution)...My French must worst than my English...

Don't be confused, I'm not used to setting CCCs, so it could well be my mistake.
Just give it a try
...and my French is much worse than my English, too
|
|

Let try...
Temporary abbreviated - TEMP
french dialog before - TAT (Can't say why!)
electrically charged atom - ION
TEMPTATION is an allurement

Correct, you are up tomorrow!
Your explanation is not 100% correct, but sufficient I think (yesterday, I had no explanation at all )
Temporary: TEMP
abbreviated french dialog: TAT (tete-a-tete)
electrically charged atom: ION
an allurement: TEMPTATION
Good work!

A few years back a referee in the Netherlands was kicked to death by a couple of teens because of the same reason 
It's really sad that lives are destroyed over stupid games by f****** psychopaths.
Could you imagine shooting a coworker because he wrote some bad code?
Well, maybe you could... Forget I asked

My company outsourced one project to a consulting company. Now that project is almost over we are asking for a source code + database. It is a .NET based solution with SQL Server and repository is TFS. Their estimate to deliver this will take 2 days and cost approx $3000. I am angry because that is a blunt lie that proving source code will take 2 days. I have always used subversion and not sure about TFS but my guess is it will not take that many days to give us a source code and backup of database. I need to provide feedback to my manager.
Anyone with TFS experience want to give me your feedback if TFS is the complexity or it is just them trying to fleece more money ?
Edit:
After one phone call that estimate dropped to 6-8 hours.
Few more emails and phone calls and cost dropped to $0.

It'll not take more than 1-2 hours to migrate from on-premise TFS to Microsoft-hosted TFS (VSTS, formerly VSO).
See Migrate team projects from on-premises TFS to Visual Studio Team Services[^]
Even if your DB is 300 - 400 GB in size, a backup shouldn't take more than 45 minutes. And then an overnight FedEx/UPS on a USB drive.
One guy could do all of this, TFS migration, DB backup, short drive to the nearest FedEx location in about 6-8 hours. Assuming 150/hr that'd be about $1200 max.

This is what I am asking for
1. Check out source code from their repository ( Team Foundation Server ) and zip the folder and send that to us.
2. Create a database backup and send that or generate a script to create database tables and send that. Database size is hardly 2GB.

Ok, that's about 1-2 hours of work I'd think
Maybe they have a strict agile environment, so there's probably two stand-up meetings involved here, an iteration manager, a second scrum master, an analyst, an in-room analyst, a tester, a data expert, an architect, and then the guy who actually does all this. That'd explain the $3,000.

Thank you Nish, I needed a good laugh this morning.

I think it's a mistake for you to quote time and money here. There's no way you can tell him that without knowing a lot more about the app and all that's involved in it. See my response to him below.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
