K, i'm on a roll. Page 6 now...
Hint for anybody stuck on page 5. You need to encrypt something from page 5 using a well known algorithm. |

The name of the algorithm itself is a big clue as to what text you need to encrypt. I'm stuck on page 6 now. Its something to do with prime numbers and binary, but the penny just won't drop... Last edited by GfK; 07-01-2006 at 16:33. |
