I reconnected a few times to confirm that the server handed out random equations to be solved. After solving one manually, I was prompted with a new math problem. At this point, I wrote a python script to automate the process.
```#!/usr/bin/python2.7import socket
host = '195.154.53.62'port = 1337
bot = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)bot.connect((host,port))
while True:
    data = bot.recv(1024)
    if "=" in str.split(data)[-1]:            equation = str.split(data)[-4] + " " + str.split(data)[-3] + " " + str.split(data)[-2]
        print "Solving equation..."        print equation
        result = repr(eval(equation))
        print "Sending result..."        bot.send(result + "\n")
    else:        print data        break```
Running the script returns the flag after a few seconds.
