Welcome to the Great Cipher Challenge, 2020! My name is Quentin, and I am Secretary of the Gunn Cryptology Club. I am currently a Junior at Gunn High School, and besides cryptology am active in Model UN and classical music. I also enjoy cooking, writing, and scuba diving.
This competition is a great way to test yourself on increasingly more difficult ciphers each week. As you come to check the website, we invite you to use this forum space to meet the people around you (please remain respectful and appropriate!) Above all, have fun!
Sincerely,
Quentin Swindells
Hi, I'm Eileen and I'm the encrypter. That is, I did the messages for most of the challenges. I'm currently a junior at Gunn High School. If you're not sure where to start, the tutorials and guide are probably your best bet. And feel free to take advantage of the tools, since they will make your life quite a bit easier regardless of how much experience you have.
Also don't worry if you don't know anything about cryptology right now. I knew nothing at the start of this year but it's actually pretty easy to pick up. Don't let Arush intimidate you with his fancy words.
