You are likely both correct. I believe that link gives ckenn4189 access to "Test 4" saved on ckenn4189's computer but when jimmy-bond opened the link it opened his "Test 4" saved on their computer. Or at least that is what it did for me. For example when I opened it on mine the questions was "Decode this quote from Disney encoded using a Patristocrat cipher.

Re: Codebusters C
I can't actually see your test (I'm asked to log in) but a key takeaway is that K1 and K2 aristocrats are not really different from normal aristocrats. You'd solve them as you would solve any other aristocrat, and the only thing you maybe might change is that K1 and K2 give you a not-always-helpful hint about what is in the key. For example, the correspondence might beckenn4189 wrote: ↑February 5th, 2020, 6:23 amhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zhk0Y5 ... sp=sharingGoldenKnight1 wrote: ↑February 5th, 2020, 3:10 amYou are likely both correct.

What makes this a K1 is that the keyword, "SCIOLY," appears somewhere in the replacement text (although it doesn't have to be at the beginning; it could be anywhere). So A goes to S; B goes to C; C goes to I; and everything from G onwards goes to a letter that isn't in SCIOLY. Of course, you might not know that the keyword is SCIOLY when you're solving the question, so you'd approach the question the same as you'd approach any aristo- or patristocrat: look for the letter e based on frequencies; look for single-letter words which are "I" or "a"; looked for "the"; and so forth. Good luck!

Re: Codebusters C
For that question in particular, it does not mention the actual keyword, so you cannot solve it simply by testing different areas where the keyword can go, as I normally do. So, you would need to associated blanks with letters which aren't commonly used and go from there.

Re: Codebusters C
This is its second year so yes, it's rotating out next year. Unless they decide to keep it as a third year rotation like Game On.violaflute wrote: ↑February 9th, 2020, 1:57 pm is it true that codebusters is going to be a division b event only for the 2020-2021 season? it's not listed as an event for division c on the tentative schedule but i'll be really sad if they take it away

Re: Codebusters C
Can someone please explain what it means when text is encoded with a K2 alphabet? I understand how K1 works but I'm not sure about K2. Thanks!
