Are you qualified to work for PST?

The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) recently had a job posting where they asked applicants to solve the following riddle:

En oktobermorgen fikk vi pulsen til å øke
var det en hackeR som hadde lykkes med forsøkeT
men en HAI I en TWeeT er ikke særlig 1337.
løser du gåtEn bør dU vurdere å søke

It's a limerick about an incident where the kid of the PST boss accidentally posted an image of a shark on the PST official twitter account. It ends with "if you solve the riddle you should consider applying".

Anyway, solving this first limerick riddle will take you on a riddle journey that requires quite a bit of computer skills and wits to solve. 

If you want to know the (assumed full) answer, you can find it here (the application date has expired): https://blog.roysolberg.com/2019/01/pst-challenge

I wish I had tried solving it before I read the solution. Probably wouldn't have gotten far, though :D
