Something is broken. It doesn't show me a hint after putting in a false answer.

Did you reset the page? If so you "Have a hint" crypted like the question!

Don't know what you mean with 'reset', but F5 simply bring nothing.

why?

It doesn't help in any way to decrypt the encryption.

Knowing what you have to find is of some help!

The same words is no help.
You could just revert post the same sentence, that doesn't solve the encryption or help to do it.

Finding the way it has been encrypted/encoded is part of the puzzle. If you follow the recommended steps on the ITH having ththe hint encoded the same way as the question is helpful because you'll just have to find how to pass from the encrypted message to the decrypted message. For example if you have transformed the names and obtain: 20-14-9-8 1 5-22-1-8 or tnih a evah (numbers and letters transformation as recommended) and you have to find have a hint it is relatively easy to see that the text has been reversed.

The hint definitely help to solve the encryption but it does not give the method used without an effort!

I don' t understand what I'm supposed to do

You have to decipher the questions. To do this you have to first convert names as numbers/letters with the tables you can find on the wikipedia pages. Then you have to use a cipher to find the question. Q1 works a bit differently but you might easily figure it out.

Only deciphered Q1. Need more hints for the rest. I suppose you made it difficult. Wasted 1,5 day already...

If you found Q1 you should have no problem to find how to translate into numbers/letters for the next questions. All you'll have to do after that is to find the method of encryption/encoding used. Also remember that you "HAVE A HINT" encoded the same way so you can take advantage of this knowing how worls phase 1.

I'll probably had some hints this week too.

Thanx for your reply. I understand the idea behind the solution. It just takes too much of my time. So I had to leave it. At least for now

I feel a bit stupid now, but I am stuck with question 5. Does it work in the same way as the rest? Maybe I should just go to sleep and try tomorrow, haha :P

Hmmm, I'm still clueless. ^^U But at least now I know what not to do! Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, I needed some sleep, indeed. Solved now! :)

Am I wrong or in Q4 there are three exceeding characters at the end of the question? Even so the question is quite clear anyway.
