There are plenty of crypto-coding ideas to test here...
https://gitlab.com/users/robmyers/projectsSome of them could be used as inspiration on the current puzzle. (Or be directly applied to it). Good coding skills needed

EDIT: I just saw that he is a gitlab member since April 15, 2015, and the puzzle was published on April 3, so maybe there isn't so much useful code that I previously thought.
Nice work! This code was also posted on
gitorious December 2014, predating the puzzle... anyway, thanks to you and 680cfbb909 for following up on an old lead. As I learn more about the coding side of things, I would want any null result I got to be double checked by someone with more experience anyway.
, but I didn't run them yet. By the way, I can't open your gitorious link, I think you put "680cfbb909" as the url, can you edit it please? Thanks!
