SciOly Assassination 113: Friday the 13th

...the keyword for the cipher actually was "KITTYHAWK," as referenced to by, "Location, location, location. Go back to the roots."

I am not well acquainted with how to use the Vigenere, but I thought keywords couldn't have repeats? If not, I'm doubly an idiot.

3. 1 and 2 together actually make up the name of a type of oak tree, the bur oak (which is also sometimes spelled as burr oak). This species of tree is particularly famous to the history of the city of Ann Arbor, where syo_astro goes to school in (University of Michigan).

It would've been nice had Lumo been alive, he probably would've recognized that.

Uber said that his favorite fruit was a kumquat

Uber has poor taste then (joking)

The funny part is that nobody ever got the Hamilton references, because they were hidden under a layer of code that nobody could solve. Good game!

Well I didn't break the enciphering website when I tried it anyways the Vigenere is sort of like an advanced Caesar cipher where all the letters in the code have different shifts according to the keyword instead of all the letters having the same shift, so I don't see why it wouldn't allow the keyword to have repeated letters

Wow, those were some great clues.

I never thought to use a Vigenere cipher, ugh. I always used keyed caesars.

Pika, was there any reason for you not changing the sig?

Thanks!; Hmm interesting; and well I did change it from Fib's changes to it for her game, but usually it's always "Veni, Vidi, Vici" unless changed by the sassy uniquely for their game

Good game, pika!

[JasperKota]

^^ nice job! I'm glad you approached me asking for the sassy position.

I changed it to Veni, Vidi, Vici, because its a line from Julius Caesar.
