    Woot woot! Nailed it. The middle section of A… truly Harry is a sneaklord this year.

    Once again, another rather ominous sounding message rewards those who complete the challenges: “Too easy, huh? Don’t get smug. Challenge 6 will be harder, and if you manage that then the horrors of Challenges 7 and 8 await!”

    Interesting challenge this one, B especially.

    Man, I was so satisfied solving this – it took me significantly less time than A.

    Obviously to find the … was the real challenge of this one, since, if you’ve decoded A, you know with a bit of research the … being used. I was (snip). Took me a while to work out what I’d done and to get it back! It all looked so beautiful when I worked out what was going on, and so very clever, I spent ages trying stuff (snip) which of course didn’t work.

    I’d never even considered how clever of a way this is to conceal stuff. It just goes to show that ciphers aren’t always what you stereotypically think!

    Luckily, a habit saved me from wasting so much time on part A, otherwise I would have spent so much time on the middle bit. Part B was too easy.

    Damn.

    Harry is really going up and above with that part A. Messed my team up for a few minutes.

    I have finally cracked this weeks ciphers, after spending approximately forever over-complicating just about everything that I could have. My only tip is to not over-complicate – combine the knowledge that you have acquired in other ciphers this year.

    Good luck to everyone that’s still working, I look forward to next weeks harder ciphers!

    That moment when you solve part B before part A through pure chance
