- Answer:
- A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature
- who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
- How do you do it?
- It was encrypted twice. The first step was to perform a modulo analysis. Using Excel, you performed a mod of the number (position from start + level) if it was above 50. You do this for every max's head. The result is 50 unique numbers from 1-50. Those numbers tell you were the max's heads ned to be rearranged.
- Once the max's heads have been rearranged, you decrypted the Vigenere cypher using "scorpion" as the key.
- If you want to see my Excel file on how I did it, look at my spreadsheet below:
