Individual points will be awarded for intuitive leaps and making progress toward the goal. The group will receive points for solving the two cryptograms in the allotted sixty minutes. To assist toward the goal, I will give a hint or answer a specific question once every ten minutes, provided the group all agree that they need the help. Each hint will reduce your final score. See if you can play along at home, and solve the following puzzles before our coven of collaborators: CYPHERTEXT 1 31 FF 14 FD 13 ED EF FC 0C F4 07 FF FA 06 FE FC 08 F8 05 02 07 18 F3 08 E1 26 F4 F9 0D FD 08 DB FF F3 00 00 00 00 00 00 18 F8 1E F7 13 FC F1 F5 18 F3 08 E1 13 0F 00 FC F9 04 00 E5 18 09 03 F3 11 EF 0D CE 1A EF F7 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 16 FA 0F F1 0B FF 05 F1 0B FF 0C 09 03 F3 F8 F3 24 FB E4 07 18 F3 08 E1 29 F2 0B F4 E6 FF 10 EE 12 E3 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 12 FE 13 FA F8 FE 06 FA 00 07 0C 09 03 FD EE F4 23 FB E7 04 18 F3 08 E1 26 FB DF FF 10 EE 12 F0 01 F2 00 00 00 00 00 00 17 F9 0F 02 01 11 D5 1D E8 05 F7 01 FE 1D E6 08 F6 01 FE 1D E6 07 F7 06 07 05 FF 18 F3 08 E1 1F F8 DB 00 00 00 00 00 00 15 FB 1E F7 13 FC FB EB 18 F3 08 E1 22 FF F5 FF FE 12 01 F5 05 F9 E7 FF 10 EE 12 F0 01 31 CF FF 10 E3 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 13 FD 22 F3 FC 03 00 F6 09 FA 06 E8 19 F6 18 F3 08 E1 17 11 EF 0D 07 F6 FF F7 E6 12 F0 01 31 CF FF F3 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 FC 20 02 F7 05 06 EF 05 0A D2 04 28 F5 00 06 DD 1B E6 00 12 FF 18 F3 08 E1 18 09 03 DC FF 10 EE CYPHERTEXT 2 G O R J Z X E H H V Z L Z N T F F M V U O S M ` U J E T P Z a M ^ X ] T J L F W U N E N F L R L I T Y L W T W B P Q C W K P I ] M V R U O U T R I T Z T I C D U P O Z E K G O S L G D R N G [ W N G T | |||
