Ok, thanks for pointing this out to me. You are absolutely right, I put a new check in place that will ignore spaces from now on in the verification process.

All the submissions for that puzzle have been rerun.

Hi!

There is something that I don't understand about this puzzle...
If it is based on the noob cipher than for each message there should be only one solution as it is said that each line is encrypted with a different substitution table.

In order to get
WELCOME TO CODER CHARTS
WELCOME TO COVER CHARTS
from HQVMZDQ PZ MZLQE MSIEPJ
one would need 2 keys... or am I wrong.. may be I am missing something obvious, but I will be grateful for any hints/explanations...

Kind regards!
P.

Петър Петров,

here you are not given the key, so when deciphering multiple keys are sometimes possible (e.g. they all decode the message into valid words). Hope that it clarifies the problem.

Could someone explain what's wrong in the following submission:

http://codercharts.com/submission/43857

I don't see that the solution memory usage (228.95 MB) is over that allowed slot (250 MB)
Thanks.
