Hmm. Well, La Malinche doesn't seem to be helping much just yet, but perhaps - like Dr. Lanning - she needs to be asked the right question.
Which raises the question, "what is the right question?"
I feel like my first idea probably shouldn't have been "let's try to do asymmetric decryption by hand". Gonna have to come back when I'm more awake.
Got to step two, completely lost so far at this part
Something is not working!
Questions that come to mind quickly:
Cap letter is space? And/or start of word?
Number are to be ignored as distraction?
How do you ask La Malinche a question?
Unless it is translate one language to a second and come out In a third...
I'm pretty sure that is not the right question.
That's a possibility, but that makes me wonder which language(s) are needed.
Okay I got to the Google doc with the first password but now I'm totally lost
Random note. This was entered into cryptobin back in September. They've been working on this for a while.
It's mutliple steps, with other decryption after first one ^^'
I have all the words save 2, I need something that fits... Oh, there's several possible words here, and the first was right
Any hint with the first one? The words dont fit the crossword?
They didnt at first, until I found another, different word (which was the first one I encountered)
(You will know you're on the right track when you can get a couple words to intersect.)
So the words they give us are not the words we use?
The question I have is how to get there in the first place, considering I'm having the same problem @ThanosMav is.
Well, if you're using the same number of letters as him for the password, that's wrong
Yeah. You should already be in a certain mindset already. Not much else I can say.
So how does one find the right words for the crossword?
This one shoulda been Interpreter, yeah?
Yeah, I was pretty sure that it wouldn't be that easy... but La Malinche doesn't seem to have been much assistance on that front.
She was a pretty big help, but has a bad reputation. Lots of people have argued otherwise.
In that step I am, trying to find if they are synonymous or antonyms, etc.
I am always amazed how fast some of you find the first step of a puzzle
Also, I am stunned, that someone said something about a crossword, and somehow the others know exactly WHICH crossword.
Now, my question;: does it matter for the password if I use Capital letters or not?
So I've heard. In a way, the... controversy... surrounding her reputation reminds me of the reputation Vidkun Quisling gained, several centuries later. (Indeed, his name has since become an epithet for "collaborator" or "traitor".)
definitely something with formatting going on, as the hint implies
You could argue that the very idea of her being a traitor is a backward-looking, modern one. Much like this hint.
How do you think I figured out that, quote, "perhaps - like Dr. Lanning - she needs to be asked the right question", unquote?
