Waitā€¦ which SCP entry is thisā€¦ Iā€™m looking all over the SCP wiki and am having issues finding this oneā€¦

I meanā€¦ once I find the SCP entry for this, itā€™ll be a simple matter to solve itā€¦

#4

I donā€™t think I gave anything away, just some basic decryption strategy, which I expect most programmers already know.

I may mean that oneā€¦

In my opinion this problem has 3 parts:

  • figuring out how the encryption works
  • finding a decryption strategy
  • coding the thing

Would it be as fun if there was only the last part? :wink:

What is special about the validator 2? All my test cases and the other validators running fine. Do I have to be flexible with white spaces or line endings? The format in the test cases looks very strict.

I donā€™t know
Could you please explain how to find the decryption code?
I think the given input should be arranged in a particular pattern, based on the given output. But I could not figure out how to find the pattern!!

Being careful is a good strategy. Assume nothing. I didnā€™t have any trouble with any of the validation tests on this one, but I have run into problems on other puzzles.

Google ā€˜simple decryption strategyā€™. There are numerous articles out there on the web on this subject.

Hi, i am stuck on validatorsā€¦ All tests are passing, Validator 2,3,4 are passing but Validator 1 is failingā€¦
Any hints? :slight_smile:

Thnx

#13

Are you handling the names of ALL the digits?

#14

@Dogwon thnx for hint, but that isnā€™t problem. I am handling all digitsā€¦all 10 of them.

Le codage utilisĆ© est simple, mais pas Ć©vident Ć  deviner pour ceux dont lā€™Anglais nā€™est pas la langue maternelle.

#17

Yes, I can imagine it would be very difficult. Perhaps you could rewrite the puzzle so it uses a French phrase. Then we could see if any English speakers could solve it.

#18

How do I find the key?
I tried to use the difference between the first character from the message and the letter ā€˜Tā€™ but that is not working.

#19

ā€œHow do I find the key ?ā€ is precisely the purpose of this puzzle, so nobody will answers that, and what the interest if you donā€™t find it yourself ? :wink:
