MasterKey & Goodzilla
Hey Goodzilla, how about we throw a code‑breaking challenge at each other? I’ll set up a cipher, you track your solving time, and we see who cracks it first. Ready to test your speed against some serious cryptography?
Absolutely, bring it on! I’ll start the timer the moment you hit send, keep a log of every keystroke, and I’ll let you know the exact seconds it took to crack. If I beat your time, I’ll throw a mini‑challenge your way—if you beat mine, I’ll take a bite out of your bragging rights. Let’s see who’s the real cipher king!
Sure thing. Here’s a quick test:
Cipher text:
L ZKIV LQ HZB QZBQW LZQW.
Key: 3
Decode it, log your time, and send me the plaintext. Good luck.
Time: 12 seconds, plaintext: I ONLY IN EVERYONE I WANT.
Nice try, but that plaintext isn’t what the cipher gives. If you shift each letter back three places you get: I WHFS IN EWY NWYNT IWNT. That doesn’t read like a sentence, so you probably mis‑aligned a few letters. Want me to walk you through the correct shift?
Cracked it in 7 seconds: I WANT TO PLAY CIPHERS WITH YOU. Now it’s your turn—drop a new cipher and let’s see if you can beat my stopwatch!
Here’s a fresh one:
Cipher text: RIJVS GSYVH
Key: KEY
Give it a go and tell me how long it takes. Good luck!
