Lol, could have checked that myself... ^^

Is it broken or is the missing part of the code part of the challenge?

Thx, this will help. (Hopefully... back to coding! ^^)

I finally solved this challenge!!! ;-) But I'm not very happy with my solution. ;-/ In short words, I reversed the algorythm, applicated all possible/the remaining possible values of the key to the eggs step by step, removing all values leading to bad plain letters/signs. But I still get eggs with m...

Well, if you don't just reverse the algorythm for decryption, but understand what it does - visualizing the bits affected by the steps helps - you'll see that there is a simple way not to have to test all 256^4 keys.

I don't think the challenge should be changed. Some challenges do not have plain English words as their answers to prevent entering random words without actually trying to solve it. The answer for this specific challenge is made of a couple of words merged so that it makes some sort of joke. I unde...

Got it... But without the hints, i had no chance. Have hold the correct answer in my hand long before. Just didn't see it because of the misspelling. I didn't think it could be correct... THX to Skremers Maybe the challenge should be changed? I think this makes it harder for non-native-english peopl...

Damn, "'You were too slow at 3034 moves!' is incorrect." isn't even close...
"'You were too slow at 1990 moves!' is incorrect.". I'm on the right way...
1875 -> Yes!

This challange was real fun!

One day you will, my friend... one day...
(And me too, hopefully! Because I have absolutely no idea...)
