Anyone playing this? It just started on the 10th but you can still join and make a team (3 people).

Is anyone doing this? I can't even figure out the activation task!

Registration is still open. This is NOT the same thing as the previous "Can you crack this" that was recently posted.

I started it this evening. Solved the first problem, stumped on task 1 of lecture 2.
As for clues on the activation puzzle:

Step 1: Look up the author of the book - this should give you a clue to the type of cipher

Step 2: I used a letter frequency analysis to find the correct implementation

Step 3: If you've got this far and it's still gibberish, pause to reflect on your work

Argenbar have you worked out Lecture 2 task 1 yet? I can give you a hint if you need.
I am stuck on Lecture 2 task 2. I have clear text and what must be the last word, but however I am submitting the answer is wrong. I don't know what else to try.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just doing this for fun. I'm a one man/woman 'team' so ....
Edit: was a duh moment! Got it now.

This lecture was fun. All tasks complete. I think it's going to get really hard next. Long wait - 2 weeks!
