"Cloudy days reveal open skies with great shifts in imagery."
That's the hidden clue! Not telling anyone what it means...

Teaser #2!  For this teaser, magic is very useful. EDIT: backup2.withg.org has already restarted, so there should be no more downtime on backup2. Thanks for your patience!

Heads up to backup2 users: You are receiving this email because you have an active OpenVZ VPS service with us. There has been a new security vulnerability with OpenVZ kernels 042stab090.4 and older. 042stab090.5 was released today to patch the security vulnerability.
As we need to upgrade the kernel to 042stab090.5 in order to ensure your services will not be at risk due to this security exploit, your server will be rebooted today and downtime is expected to be under a total of 15-20 minutes. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding and will do our best to keep downtime to an absolute minimal.

Apparently this new startup (and product) is going crazy! They launched on Monday, and have raised $114,860/$20,000, 574% of their goal! Apparently they're also backed by the UC Santa Barbara Technology Management Program, but that's another story... According to TrackR Bravo's Indiegogo: 
Isn't it such a bummer when you lose your keys or wallet? Every time I lose something, I spend 20 minutes looking for my keys only to find them hiding in the most obvious place, possible - usually in yesterday's jeans or under the couch cushion.
That's why we invented TrackR, a simple way to keep track of items using your smartphone. After 5 years of R&D, thousands of customer feature suggestions, and 5 product revisions, we are proud to reveal TrackR bravo to the world. TrackR bravo is the slimmest and most elegant item tracking device ever created backed by the world's largest Crowd GPS network.
I just bought one (or two, actually!), since these guys are pretty legit. Anyone else getting one? (You can get one here.) Disclaimer: Links are referral links - you can get one for free when referring another friend/person! I actually like the product, having gotten one for free from here. They're a legit business, so go and support them!

Hello, world.
Something interesting is coming.
Are you ready for it?
Yeah, I'm ready. Does it involve cookies?
Yes... or no. Depends on what you mean by "cookies". By the way, this is nothing big. It's not the server move (boo, sorry). No improvements to any existing infrastructure. Just something new. Not exciting, either (IMO), but I think you guys might like it. But don't get your hopes up!

Not enough donations? 
Well... You said it - go donate plz before May is over http://www.withg.org/donateSorry for the downtime guys - it was downtime on the VPS provider side: @hostigation
LA Outage due to router chassis failure @Quadranet they are working as fast as possible
-May 31, 2014 Everything seems to be up now - running programs should probably still be running, due to the router only having problems. Let me know if anything crazy happens!

Is the purpose of this precisely to make an ASCII table? Or is it simply to convert the data into a more standard tabular format? Because you mentioned that converting it to CSV that can be imported into Excel would suffice, but I would like to point out that the input data can be imported into Excel just fine as-is, in which case my solution would be to do nothing.
True true... yeah, the point of it is to figure out which columns represent which data, aka successfully parse the input table. So either would work as long as they are generated from scratch.

What kind of restrictions are there on input format? Will the table always be nicely spaced already? Will every data cell contain a number? Will there always be at least one row of data?
And how about the output format? Can we pad lines to the end with spaces? Should there be precisely no extra table width on the left but one character of extra table width on the right, as in your example?
Sorry for the lack of specificity. You can assume the following: - Everything is right-justified and well spaced. A human can easily distinguish the columns.
- Assume that there will always be a header (first line) and a sub-header (second line).
- You can safely assume that every value cell (third line and down) will be filled.
- There will always be rows of data, but consider only using the first few, since the actual data could be thousands of lines long.
- As for output, the table I made was just a quickly done table to show how it could look like. The main goal of this challenge is to show that you are able to map the header and subheader to the column data below. Therefore, the output needs to show that you are successful in doing so. A simple table will do, or even a CSV that can easily be imported to Excel.
Hope that helps (and makes it easier)! Feel free to ask any more questions as necessary! Oh, and here's proof of solution (when it eventually gets posted): Solution hash: 4ff5917ff0f821103799498d79a4c70665eb8a68f3b6cf715986c93d3db9e2a6 Verifiable hereEDIT: Updated pastebin with specifics above!

UPDATE: Specifics and clarifications can be found here. Here's something that came up at work today. Seemingly simple, but it's a lot more complicated than it looks! (At least for me, heh...) I've came up with a solution already, so try it out! Give it a try: http://pastebin.com/FWLmveKFThe challenge (if you can't access the above): =====================
= Make That Table! =
=====================
CHALLENGE:
Using any programming language, write a program that takes the following INPUT and converts it into a valid table OUTPUT.
Input represents any table, space-delimited. The first line is the table header, and the second line is the table secondary header.
Output must be based on the input. Display statements of the final result without any steps to get to the final results will be disqualified.
