Red Alert!
Nema Stem has sent Test emails to 8 of us!
Quote:
Hope everyone knows how to use teamwork!
It looks like she has has sent us all a line of a puzzle, how shall we do this? i'm hesitant to stay withour our own emails? but if that works? or is that what she wants? Shall we post up our lines?
Let me hear your opinions guys!

I think it will be much easier to coordinate our efforts here. Here's what I got...

4b
The password for 1a is piza

The italics was hidden text. The code decodes to "The password is the answer to life the universe and everything" using Vigenere with repeating keyword of "awesom". Of course the answer to that is 42. I didn't spoiler this because I assume you all got different codes. So I guess let's see what everyone else gets and try to put this together.

I am guess there is 1a-4a and 1b-4b and 4b is the last one unlocking the 1a which unlocks the following finally giving us the key to 4b (which we already have)

snorkle's code
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Vigenere with repeating key "agent" decodes to "3b's password is leo".
Painillusion's code
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Vigenere again with repeating key "teacher" decodes to "2b's password is "agent".
It looks like each person's code gives the key to crack someone else's code. Or I could just keep breaking them without the extra help...
what snorkle said ^^

All she said was that it was some sort of test...so should we all email her, or just the one who got 4b?
Also, LatentMoths...how do you do that? o.O
