mistake in question 59
i feel like that q59 has a mistake in it.. there is a perion '.' missing in the encrypted text, initially i got the answer wrong but when i added, i think 42, which is the ASCII order of a period i got the right answer.. did anybody experience something like this??

Re: mistake in question 59
Can you define what "common english words" means? Does that include whitespaces, or punctuation, or any other characters outside of the [a-z] and [A-Z] range between the words?

Yes. Once decrypted, it should read as a normal text if you display it on the screen.Does that include whitespaces, or punctuation, or any other characters outside of the [a-z] and [A-Z] range between the words?
When you assume something, you risk being wrong half the time.
