I am far to drunk too decrypt anything but how to find a bed to sleep in right now. But thank you for going through the trouble of making a puzzle.

He he, no problem, thought I'd make something different for some of the games I am giving away!
Want another beer? =]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) Hope enough people will be able to solve it! The GA behind the puzzle is pretty sweet imo.

I don't know if my pop culture or internet slang or whatever is out of date but I can't figure out the key for Q1 for the life of me! Even tried brute forcing it but got too lazy around 6char long key xD guess I'll wait for the next hints.
ps. Prosektike prosexe :P

The hint will be useful, for sure. :)
P.S.
Καλησπέρα! :P

You stopped at the right length. Just a bit too early. Well, direct bruteforce is a wrong way. There are better tools on the web.

No hints please! :)
Indeed bruteforce is a bad way to waste your time!

I like this puzzle :) Your hint to get started gives a lot of interesting information. Didn't know about this algorithm before.
P.S. I've come from the store and want to eat very much. But I'm just sitting here and thinking which cat is laughing out loud or which else unpleasant feeling can it be :/

Glad you like it! I learn a lot from making puzzles as well. :)
I'm sorry but I can't give out anyextra hint. Yet. :P

I did! #1
(This is an answer to the title of the discussion. I wasn't the first solver.)

Q2-5 are easy, but I can't get the key for Q1. Is it hard to guess for a non-english speaker? :/
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it's not any "advanced" English. The hint will clear things if you don't get it though. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, actually it isn't normal English either. Not even a proper word to begin with. So, it could be really hard to guess for someone not accustomed to English internet culture.
Comment has been collapsed.
True that but I guess possibilities are higher for someone to know internet slang than advanced English words. ;)
Anyway, let's stop here as we might be giving out hints here!

I end up breaking cipher for Q2. -_-
`t was that word. Full of it. And fun at the same time.

It's level 1+
As for the title it's not my place to tell :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you both for the answers. I am not yet level 1, therefore I will not solve it

I'd like to keep the name of the game as a surprise so that more people try to solve the puzzle (without trying to get the link from someone who already solved it). :)

Q3 left
Sorry about Q2
EDIT: about Q3. Still thinking way of....
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I found the method... I am struggling to find the keys though
EDIT: yup, method was right, Q3 is giving me lots of trouble... will carry on tomorrow

Hello world! This is my first puzzle in here.
Each question is an encrypted string which you have to decrypt and use as the answer.
Encryption was done using the same algorithm for all strings, but not necessarily with the same parameters each time. Thus, when you’ve answered Q1 (or any other question) you know the algorithm, but for the next questions you might have to try different parameters!
By parameters, I mean arithmetic parameters, passphrases, keys, anything that might be used to encrypt something. This is dependent on the algorithm.
Yes, you can find at least one tool online to decrypt the strings, this is NOT an algorithm I invented myself!
The GA behind the puzzle will remain open for 48 hours. Minimum level for entry is 1.
Each encrypted string is accompanied by a hint in parentheses which indicates the parameter(s) or key(s) used for it.
Extra hints shall be revealed in 40 hours from now. These will only help you find the parameter(s)/key(s) for each question, not the algorithm itself.
I think it’s obvious that anyone who gives out hints or solutions or shares the GA link in the comments will get blacklisted. Right? Right? RIGHT?

Let me know if you found it easy, challenging or plain difficult!
