I WILL cut you

@DarkwolfX37

Wondering if this is before the fact or after.

[whizzball1]

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

I hope that was sarcastic.

@Etcetera

It was. I had to go all the way to a binary decryption website, input the binary in, take a few seconds to figure out that it was giving me ones and zeros so it must be double encoded, and then decrypt it twice.

@Etcetera

Are there no spaces for a reason? Do I have to change this whole thing into binary? Wait wait wait, the whole thing is made up of 30s and 31s. I can do this.

@whizzball1

Then decrypt the next one. Still isn't hard, but a level higher.

Spaces made the last one from "easy" to "very easy."

@Etcetera

I just turned all the 30s and 31s into 0s and 1s which came out in groups of 8. That message turned into hexadecimal. I'm getting somewhere.

@whizzball1

Huh. The hex corresponded to 0s and 1s; I didn't think about that. It means "Your time was wasted."

@Nimda

How were you supposed to solve it? I noticed the pattern that there were only 30s and 31s, so I realised that the threes were duds, so I got 0s and 1s, painstakingly separated them into groups of 8, put that in a binary translator, put the hexadecimal in a translator, and then started using Wiktionary to figure out the words. I just tried Google Translate--it took what I got from the hexadecimal and made it into: "Your time will have you in vain are"

@whizzball1

The 3s were there for a reason. That's the hex version of the binary code.

*blink* Well then.

Now you see why I'm going to cut him.

@DarkwolfX37

Did you figure it out?

[DarkwolfX37]

[whizzball1]

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

See there's this weird wavelength thing where I knew it would end up as "you wasted your time" so I didn't bother with the work.

@DarkwolfX37

It was kind of fun, though.

@Nimda

Make it worth it please.

[Etcetera]

Okay guys, I can either add an extra layer of encryption and make it extremely hard, or I could not and it'll still be very hard.

Add an extra layer for a different puzzle. AND MAKE IT WORTH IT.
