No I mean the orders of the B***** strings. I’ve found 3 so far, but none are correct bumuming the grouping of characters is done correctly. |

Should I explain it yet? The contest is over so no harm I guess?
One thing I can make clear that might lead you with gibberish otheriwse
The amsco is five lines. You could have figured this out by counting characters… but
2-1-2-1-2 1-2-1-2-1 2-1-2-1-2 1-2-1-2-1 2-1-2-1-2
Fill them down in order of the key. |

b3rND Posted: That’s not enough. I ended up writing a brute-force programs and found 29 combinations, in which only 1 is properly grouped. I guess the solution is near. |

Alright, seriously man, help me out here. Make it so I can stop headdesking and give me a reason to hate everyone around me.

Anagrams?
Okay, you know, the previous challenges were all pretty straightforward. A fixed key against a scrambled mess of data. Anagrams are ****ing bull****. They’re puzzles that are all just a guessing game. Randomly shuffle around letters to guess the answer.
Considering your post was two words that made up one word, how the _hell_ can someone be expected to come up with, with no hints, a coherent instruction from 2 5-letter and 4 4-letter words?!
I sure hope hog posts the method to 8’s madness soon… I’d hate for that to really be the answer. |

Anagrams are the worlds oldest form of encryption. |

I had problems with that one too, but there’s really only one solution.

Any “scrabble” helper would help you shuffle letters into words. |

Encryption is not based on guesses or actually having to brute-force an answer…
That’s bull****. Seriously, a ****ing anagram? |
