You can't multiply those two matrices. They don't line up. It's supposed to beLongivitis wrote:It's supposed to bejimmy-bond wrote:Idk how to put a matrix but I diddragonfruit35 wrote:Which way did you write the DREW BREES matrix? With the letters readable horizontally or vertically?

the VEAR matrix multiplied by

etc., etc., I believe.
Although annoyingly, it's not evenly split into chunks of 2 so you'd have to insert an extra letter at the end.
Yeah, UTF is right, it should be multiplied by the encryption key, in whichever orientation they gave it to you, to be clear.Longivitis wrote:Yeah, that's what I meant guess I really wasn't clear enough.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:You can't multiply those two matrices.

You can expect ideally 15 questions per test, and a good solve time ranges from like 1 min (a caesar or something) to like 10 mins (no hint patristo?). Again, those times depend completely on what you're comfortable with.SpicyCurry wrote:So quick questions. Around how many questions are there on a code busters test at the various levels (regionals, state, nationals)?

Agree. An extremely well-rounded person should average 5 minutes/cipher, with patristocrats balancing out stuff like decryption matrix and affine.l0lit wrote:You can expect ideally 15 questions per test, and a good solve time ranges from like 1 min (a caesar or something) to like 10 mins (no hint patristo?).

Well the thing is that E and A are the most frequent letters, but they have relatively the same frequency. It's better to target the two letter words, because there is only so many two letter spanish words. The message itself should not be that difficult, with using spanish words that are similar to the english translation. If you have somewhat decent spanish experience, you can solve them pretty easily, just know the common words and frequencies.ducharmezac wrote:Does anyone have any tricks on how to do xenocrypt without knowing spanish? I feel like there's gotta be a trick somewhere that I'm missing.
