Cryptos

Anybody at the "fire at will" level? The ciphertext looks like digraphic substitution or playfair, but these both need passwords. Anybody found any other cipher or password?

for " a question of distance" ... I got

Distance between 8 46'12"S 63 55'12"W and 9 28' 0"S 63 54' 0"W is
48.2072 statute miles

and it doesnt work ... any help???

[Jase]

and isnt "fire at will" the temp end?

[kuang]

It needs to be rounded up rather than down.

[Jase]

so ...

Not from Manaus. I meant from Porto Velho to the airfield given by coordinates given by 9 degrees, 28 minutes south & 63 degrees 54 minutes west.

Wait a second where did you get this coordinates there is no such in the decrypted text? It says only about abandone airfield.

Just for the next 2 Stages, what particular things in the game did you guys enjoy most?

It's hard to say - every stage has a different appeal. Tracking down historical ciphers is always interesting, as are logic puzzles. The Stenography approach in 'cafe tropico' was a gem too, if a little sneaky

I trust your judgement in picking a few more interesting challenges for the next batch

Are you on the distance level? The co-ordinates of the place you want to land are there, and you need to google for the co-ordinates of the starting point.

You know, I still can't work out what that sodding object is in the 'escape' level - this is what getting 3hrs sleep after being awake until 3am doing substitution ciphers does for you

Kuang i'm at the "Of gilded hemipterons and terpsichore hominids" level. I've decrypted the message about the abandone airport near Porto Velho. I do not understand what is the solution for this level. I've tryed every airport of brazil and nothing works out. Please help.

[kuang]

You're probably thinking far too deeply about it. It doesn't have to be a specific real place, just what it is should be enough to get you there
