Reply To: Yet another 10B post
The hint progression felt a bit off in this challenge. We figured out pretty quickly that we needed to use 21-symbol chunks, and 10.2 backed that up. Then 10.4 made it obvious we were dealing with ADFGVX cipher.
The real challenge is how to convert the initial cipher into telegraph format – but weirdly, there seem to be zero hints about that part. It was frustrating waiting for hints after 10.4 only to see them repeating all the easy parts we already knew while skipping over the actual tricky bit 😿
