 		Help! I have no idea what this code is and how to decode it Sad it's key 92
Code:

A: (D, 89)
B: (X, 50) (J, 54) (K, 84)
C: (L, 82) (F, 96) (H, 7)
D: (A, 89) (F, 86) (G, 26)
E: (J, 77)
F: (C, 96) (D, 86) (G, 96)
G: (D, 26) (F, 96) (L, 23)
H: (C, 7) (I, 6) (K, 38)
I: (H, 6) (L, 85)
J: (E, 77) (K, 8) (B, 54)
K: (J, 8) (B, 84) (H, 38)
L: (C, 82) (G, 23) (I, 85)
X: (B, 50)

If someone knows how to solve this, go ahead and activate the key.

 		Coffee KEY 48 is activated now (solution was a bitwise XOR operation). Beaut work on your Morse, Sugarstain, and that nbr. 92 above does look tricky.

It looks like it could be a weighted graph again, i.e. A: (D, 89) means there is a path from A to D with "length" 89 - so the answer is probably to draw it out and figure out the shortest path from one side of the graph to another.. I'm sure that if you are still having trouble with it, AUZ et al will be able to solve it like they did with a similar puzzle earlier in the game Smile

I just got #89, it looks like another "permissions" type puzzle like iamthor had earlier so hopefully I should be able to activate it..

Unfortunately I tried that already and it didn't work. Trying again, though. I might have made a mistake earlier.
EDIT: Still can't figure this out

Shared spreadsheet
Guys,

I thought it might be handy to organise what we have solved and more importantly what is unsolved so I created a quick spreadsheet and put it on Google Drive. You can access it and hopefully add to it if you use the following link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkHyTs1aSi-sdHY1R2E0RFNaLXJTeTlwYmZoVkdwRkE&usp=sharing

Please add your solved and unsolved puzzles, it might help us keep on top of where we are?

(EDIT - I changed the link above so that it is a Google spreadsheet that we can edit together on the fly)

I also added a quick explanation on the second sheet of how to get and solve the puzzles, in case we need to boost the signal on this one to get all 100 solved before Richard comes back Wink

 		I got key 24 this morning. The activation key was:

Solved by ROT13 decryption. 24 is activated.

Logged all of this on the spreadsheet.

 		Hi there, sequoya, you are indeed the clevah lil engine that could! THX for the spreadsheet.

We were both updating the spreadsheet re nbr. 45 activation when it "froze" my tablet. So, am not heading back there atm. Solution was an XOR operation.

No worries, if you post any here I'm sure someone will update the spreadsheet anyway Smile Just thought it might be useful to keep an eye on, in particular, ones that haven't been solved or haven't even been discovered yet, without having to trawl through this thread Smile

Does anyone have any ideas on 64, 67 and 68? It seems like they will all have the same solution method. I tried the "use the digits of pi as an index" idea that someone had yesterday, but it didn't work, so I'm a bit stuck on them.

 		Don't have time to take a shot at decoding this, right now, as I'm on my way out for the day, but I have key 35.

 		35 was another vowel-counting solution. Sent and activated.

 		#35 appearss to be more vowel counting (& it's case sensitive) 'tho haven't a clue about #64 and #68.

Shortest path from a to x should be ADGLCHKJBX. Could you try it?

 		I tried AUZ505's solution to #92 so we could see if it worked and it did. That one is activated. Nice work, AUZ505.

Also used some of my additional email addresses to close out about four more today. All of them logged on the spreadsheet.

Thanks to the spreadsheet, it appears pretty clear that the solutions go in groups of 10. So 0-9 = binary, 10-19 = morse, 20-29 = rot13, etc.

Received activation key 56 - put it in spreadsheet but not sure what solution is yet

Submitted the ROT13 version but as expected it was incorrect. Trying some others now and will keep you posted if any work.
