Well I didn't really want to use this task as a way to re-submit a failed task, but after asking several people how to properly re-submit a failed task and getting zero reesponse, I decided to resort to this method.

As a newbie, I tried Decryption for Beginners, and not getting it immediately, decided to "cheat" by figuring out what the message was saying without really decrypting it. I think my biggest mistake was admitting that I hadn't really done the task properly in my proof. (*shakes head*)

After getting the big red X, I determined to solve it for real, and have done so:

Hmmmph! Hxbqmpdtlbmsbhaxelbkphpemghoctmkqeqepioxmpetquiagoqbcf - I really think i should have gotten some points for that.

I have learned many valuable lessons from the big red X and hope to avoid more in the future.
