Scioly Assassination Number 42: DON'T PANIC.

[binary010101]

Lol. 42. FNORD

[sewforlife]

Haha

stupid assassin you think your ciphers can fool us, here's what his Atbash cipher says.
During the nineteen-thirties, there was one particular city that won two different major national sports championships in the same year, in each case being the first time that team had ever won the the coveted national title. The identity of the team that won the chillier of the two sports points plainly to my victim-to-be

That would be croman74, detroit Red Wings won it in 1935 and the Tigers did too.

someone wanna protect him?

[SOninja]

lol 42!!

I panicked when I saw the "DON'T PANIC".
Anyway, may the force be with you, mysterious assassinator!

[Iustitia]

So, what IS the answer to six by nine? (In base 13, of course)

[RandomPerson]

Lol, I approve of this HitchHikers guide reference.

Nice, much better then my idea.

[Phenylethylamine]

I was so happy to see the title... depressed that I missed it, though. Hitchhiker's Guide is the best thing ever. I love you, Assassinator, whoever you are

[fmtiger124]

It seems my assassinator pick has bribed all the officers into not protecting much to starpugs annoyance

Umm...someone? Anyone?

I love how this thread is filled entirely with people talking about Hitchhiker's guide - assassination itself got totally left in the dust.

I suppose I will have to read this book someday - since apparently it's so good. I was in-and-out watching about half of the movie version - do most people consider that to be a fair adaptation? Can someone give me a brief overview of what the book is actually about, or would that just be blasphemous and the only answer is "read the book"?

And, on topic, well done Starpug with getting that clue so quickly. Even if I had figured out how to get the cipher (how'd you do that, by the way? Do you just try each different kind until it works?), I definitely would not have figured out the sports trivia... haha - I guess that's the price I pay for being an olympiad person - I know nothing about sports.
