    There is clearly not enough wailing and moaning in the forum. Challenge 7B must not be hard enough.
    Here is a new ciphertext. No cribs for you today.

    Is it you or me? In my plaintext I have no “Z”. It is replaced by “A”.

    Now it is correct. I had a problem with a %26 😉

    Thanks for the fun extra challenge, Madness. Who needs cribs anyway?

    Have a great Christmas, everyone!

    Sorry guys/gals, the checksums don’t match. The MD5 of the plaintext alone is 71a4b42115aeb559133a06531acdef5d.
    It’s safe to tell you that, since you can’t use this information to fake a correct checksum that includes your name.

    Cribs? We don’t need no stinkin’ cribs.

    That’s odd… I get that too. My hash was of PLAINTEXTTSYZYGY. I thought I’d mentioned that in my post, but it got removed for some reason. Does that work? If not, perhaps it would be proof enough to tell you that the word used to generate the key for the outer ring of the clock is the 12th word of the plaintext? (I’m pretty sure that provides absolutely no help in solving it, so I’m afraid this isn’t a clue, for anyone out there trying to solve it!!)

    My plaintext was not entirely cleaned. There was a “return” at the end.

    Thanks, Madness. A nice diversion after the excesses of Christmas day!

    This was a nice one madness, I like the message, only seen it today, the MD5 of PLAINTEXT67105112104101114 is: 9843756633a2b3cbbf54df4a2ffa8e5b

    @Tsyzygy, with your name at the END, yes your sum matches.


    @F6exb    , you now match.


    @Levpol    , you match.

    @Cypher, you match.

    The next challenge is still waiting to be “~moderated~”.

    @Madness oh don’t worry I’ve solved it now. Why is everyone saying things about MD5? I don’t really understand that – is it just a way of proving that it was solved correctly? If so, how do i find my MD5?

    @Madness I have found what I believe to be the correct cipher alphabet if my bigrams tell the truth, but I don’t know which letter out of 28 is the start letter. Would it work to encrypt it from any position and use a Caeser Cipher to find the actual plaintext?

    Thanks
