So, I’ve got to step away from this one, at least for a while. Just don’t have the time to commit to it.
I got as far as finding the cipher and the method, but can’t find the key.
I’ve been working on a way to find it programmatically. I’ve been rereading all of the forum posts, and given what has already been said I think it should work… but it doesn’t.
I don’t want to post any spoilers here but if any one is up for it I’d really appreciate explaining the pseudocode for what I’m trying to do via PM. I’m just not sure if I’ve got a bug, or if I’m not looking at the results hard enough (there are still a lot of potential results), or if I’m completely missing something.
