Harry. My head hurts. I have had about 6 hours of sleep… in the last 3 days. This cipher is stuck in my brain. Every case file has given information I already knew. I have a whole .txt file on my computer of notes and none of them are getting me anywhere. I have made 7 different simulated annealers with different strategies each – I’ve even fine tuned the parameters on each. I can’t get them to work. I know there is an extended deadline across Christmas, will that make me rest and enjoy Christmas with a clear mind – no. Anybody who has solved it, stop stealing my braincells – they’re vacating my head and entering yours. Merry sleepless Christmas!

Do try to enjoy the holidays! The Elves will be resting from 25th on (for obvious reasons), so you should try to relax a bit too! Perhaps the Case Files after Christmas will be more helpful. Harry
