Sometimes I pretend to be an octopus. But then people are like 'Darren, what're you doing?' and I just sit there and laugh because they're not cool enough to be an octopus and I'm just like 'Hah you're just jealous because you're not an octopus.'
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Correct, your turn!
Also, I feel like for codebusters, we could approach the question marathon like we did last year and eliminate the need for the questioner to confirm if the answer is right, since it's pretty clear if you got it right or wrong unless it's an encryption (for which you could use a website with an encoder).

Almost forgot about this...

Decrypt the following Vigenere cipher. The key is "fever".

Since there's been a bit of radio silence, I'd like to ask is the question itself is supposed to be the Vigenere? On my end, all I have is the instructions but no ciphertext.

Pour one cup of the cream into a saucepan and add the sugar, salt. While I'm waiting for my APCS class to start, let's see if my Aristocrat-generating code works correctly:
