Decryption for Beginners by Darin Nee

February 8th, 2006 12:01 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Title aside, this is a fairly difficult task, but you'll be rewarded accordingly. Members of EquivalenZ will often run into situations where they're required to extract useful information from something that doesn't want that data revealed - in the most literal sense, this means you may find being able to break codes useful. Certainly, this can often be done by computer tools that handle just about everything themselves, but we'd rather you had some idea of what's going on when you click "decrypt". Ergo:

As long as you play fair, you'll find the key to this puzzle is right under your nose.

Also! As of 6/28/06, the message - and the instructions for how to provide proof - have changed. This is the original:

Congrats! I kinda think there should be more puzzle-type tasks. And if anyone else is wondering, you can still work on decrypting the same block (i.e. garfield doesn't give away anything)
