    Well I didn’t know about that rule so I have cheated this year but I have next year and then 2 more years after that and I’m sure I will be able to easily write my own programs to help me then so here I come next year, more prepared for this than ever before (mainly because this is my first time), I wish myself and my team good luck next year. I will definitely not have as much time next year as I will have GCSEs then, the first few challenges I will ace then when it gets to challenge 4 I will still ace it then when it comes to challenge 6 I will ace it, when it comes to challenge 7&8 I will hopefully ace it.

    I agree, by Harry’s standards I broke the rules by using an auto-décrypter for the Vigenère earlier in the challenge – but it’s ok because we can’t win as we submitted a few late, and I plan to learn how to code this sort of stuff for myself, so that rather than searching up a website I can get it all done for myself – and come back next year with a bunch of code written to try and win!

    I think it’s a good idea to write a bunch of decoders so you can solve each challenge really quickly and focus on doing research for 7 and 8.

    Oops. But anyway, we aren’t doing that well. Did not know, but please could you make that a little clearer in the rules next year? Iam learning to code (ish).
