Re: Codebusters B/C
No one has any questions, so I guess I will start the marathon again (3 weeks later)
Solve this Baconian cipher where A = 0 and B = 1:

"Everything is just a meme! Don't tell me you don't know! Because of course you do! It's because of you that I'm disanythingitized! So do you like your prize? Was it worth all the views?" This one took me a while, mainly because I was stuck on "disanythingitized" but learning a new word never hurts!

Re: Codebusters B/C
That was fun.. Here's my answer:
Here's an affine cipher from scioly.org/tests:
Ciphertext: Dgdqfrad ynsbh nerpy ycd xdnycdq, epy ar rad mrdh nafyctal nerpy ty.
Key: a=17, b=13
Solved plaintext: "I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace"
Ciphertext: Dgdqfrad ynsbh nerpy ycd xdnycdq, epy ar rad mrdh nafyctal nerpy ty.
Key: a=17, b=13

My answer:
It seems evil to put an aristocrat here, but this is just one of my favorite quotes. (Normal Aristocrat)
"Miol soyt ol soqt b lcoddozu hggs. Agw roxt ozmg mit cbmtk, fwm agw ebz'm ltt igc rtth om ol."
Plaintext: "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it. " I must admit this is one of the better plaintexts for a codebusters question that I've ever seen.
"Miol soyt ol soqt b lcoddozu hggs. Agw roxt ozmg mit cbmtk, fwm agw ebz'm ltt igc rtth om ol."

¨Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe... but this... does put a smile on my face¨
B = atomic number for the chemical Chromium
A = smallest double-digit prime number

"In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra" I had a bit of trouble with the modular inverse, but I got it eventually.
