Codebusters (7th): Probably one of the best tests I have ever taken, simply so much diversity in questions and we hit a pb in timed question. I usually struggle on online code tests but we got it all done perfectly, still mad about scrolling past an affine which probably got us 7th, but it is what ...
I may be doing something wrong, but I'm pretty sure the matrix is tell them matrix is not invertible, so its not solvable. My answer to the affine cipher: Plaintext: "This life is like a swimming pool. You dive into the water, but you can't see how deep it is." Here's a quote by Maya Angel...
Are we allowed to rip up our tests?
It's a lot easier to split up the test if just rip pages out. We place them back in order at the end, but will we get points off for doing it?
I think that the grading of all questions follows this format: After 2 mistakes, you will deduct 100 points for each following error. For example, let's say the word happy is worth 300 points, If you write "jazzy" that will be 3 mistakes therefore you subtract 100 points (3-2=1) and you wi...
iamonlydivisionbyoudummyheadidontknowwhataportais Oh wow, I entirely missed that, the lowercase text throws you off in alphabet ciphers. Also, porta is similar to vigenere, as both use a table. The mathematical way to solve porta is more difficult, but I can share the formulas with you. I am too B ...
