Elite Box Challenge

We're exited to announce today the Elite Box Challenge, the successor of the 2007 Crypto Box Challenge. This new challenge will  be far more difficult. As before, it's your task to shuffle the rows and columns of boxes with text in such way that the original text appears. The challenge starts Friday, March 18.

The crypto boxes have more steps than the previous challenge, but also different ways the plain text is composed and processed, and there's one box with an unknown language. Also new this year, for each box you solve, you move one place higher in the Table of Honor, but it's up to you in what order you want to solve the boxes. You can start with the easiest or with the most difficult, if you can figure out which one is.

More steps, fractionation and different languages is a pretty hard nut to crack and not for the faint-hearted. The Crypto Box Tool and working out things on paper won't be enough to solve the Elite Box Challenge, as the complexity increases with the increase of steps, also unknown number of steps, and different languages means other statistics to apply. Again a most complex brain-teasing puzzle.

If you think you're up to it, and want to earn your place in the Table of Honor, then mark the date and prepare your attacks. The three texts are published this Friday.
