Is challenge 6 part B SUPPOSED to read ‘You can try frequency analysis, and ultimately I think you will find it helpful, but at first it might not assist you much. You will know why if you have already broken part A, if not I suggest you do that first!’, or is that a bug?

Thanks for posting. It was a bug and is now a squished bug (I hope) others are posting that all is now well in the matrix. We are really sorry about the temporary glitch. If you submitted a speculative solution while there was no challenge text then you might have been awarded a score of 100 by a marking algorithm that was as confused as you were. Really sorry about that. We think only two competitors were caught by that and are contacting them via the messaging system so they know and can resubmit. Apologies, Harry
