: Sounds reasonable to me, now that there are a number of solutions. We probably ought to start putting our solutions in as well so that newcomers to the problem can check their answers, and it's also reasonable to encourage people to use code from [[Vigenère cipher]] for the final decrypt once the key is derived; no point in duplicating needlessly. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 10:42, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
:: Isn't the code from the [[Vigenère cipher]] task a little short to be decrypted autonomously? (I haven't actually tried, so I'm not sure.) Also, I think the answer for the code given should be obviously right, but I'd like to hear other's opinions on this. I didn't want to include the answer so that people could treat it as a puzzle if they wanted. (Would putting the answer on a separate page be ok?)

::: "Using code from" probably only means doing the output for this task once the key is determined. I'd prefer leaving the output option open to the implementions, for example in the C code I only listed most probable keys found, but didn't do any actual decoding because only a human can have a final say in the correctness of key and deciphered text. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 19:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
