Decided it might be worth doing a quick code post-mortem for anybody curious how we all figured that out.
Thanks so much for the writeup! About 20 people from the team were watching in real-time and commenting on how you guys were doing. Crumb was hoping to stump you for 45 minutes, so 2 hours is a rousing success in our opinion. I'll be sharing your write-up with people on the team who weren't able to watch in real-time.
I kept putting the wrong URL in myself, and the one thing you mentioned but specifically didn't call out is since the Playfair cyper is a 5x5 grid and the English language has 26 letters, the J is omitted. It just worked out that Crumb could use that to screw with the URL and if you had known it was omitted in the cypher itself, then you'd know that only the first "i" needed to be translated because it was replacing the J (as opposed to all "i"s should be "j"s). For me, reaching for an Indiana Jones quote is like breathing, so that was just a happy accident.
Anyway I'm certain we had as much fun watching you as you guys had figuring it out. Thanks for being great sports (and so gosh darn smart).
