<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hey everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just solved challenge #1 using Scratch. Hope the new ‘Test’ data will work just as well. Intend on showing you what I did at the end of my presentation on Oct 24.</div>

<div>Have a nice week,</div>

<div dir="auto">I agree it's not that clear.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">If the goal to be able to simply run the existing code on new input bytes then yes, "BIOPSY" is always the decrypted word since the byte array is the only given input. If the word changes, that hasn't been specified where that input
would come from. So, either it doesn't change or the description of the second input is missing.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">But using a hard-coded word doesn't sound terribly interesting to code up. You could still write your key finding function to accept two strings of equal length and output the required caesar key. Then for question #10, call it with
the word you extract from the input array and the hard-coded target word and write the output key. Then the problem is hard-coded but your code is more generic.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [VicPiMakers Projects] Jim's Challenge - Output 10 (caesar cipher)</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>I'm looking for clarification on output 10 - caesar cipher problem.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is the intent to calculate the caesar cipher key value OR is the intent to encrypt the string with a pre-determined key? Initially I thought the question was to discover the cipher key value, but on reflection this seems fragile.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Reasoning:</div>
<div>- "BIOPSY" will work for the 12 integer input that leads to "HOUVYE", but it will not work for any 12 random integers.
<br>
</div>
<div>- You'd have to reverse engineer your integers starting from "BIOPSY" to get a valid set of 12 integers.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I solved it both ways, but posted only the 2nd solution to github because only the 2nd solution will work for a random set of 12 integers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm curious how other folks solved this one.</div>
