Solution Eight

Well that's it! Congratulations to all of you, and especially to those who tried every Challenge, I know the last one was particularly tough and even if you didn't get it quite right, or got stuck half way through it was still an amazing achievement to get that far.

You can find the solution to Challenge 8 posted in the Journal. Al that is left is for us to announce the winners for this stage and of the overall Championship prize. Remember that we will decide the overall prize based on the submission times for all the Challenges. The committee will be meeting this week and we will be announcing the winner some time next week. Watch this page for news.

Equally important, we want to announce the date of the National Cipher Challenge Prize-giving ceremony at Bletchley Park. This will be held on May 7th and as last year will include a guest lecture, and a tour of the museum. Schools and individuals will be able to apply for tickets which will be free, courtesy of our sponsors, Bletchley Park itself. The event was very popular last year and we may need to ration tickets. Details will be published here on Thursday 22nd January, and also will be emailed to participants. If you wish to be contacted about the day and are not registered for the competition please register now.
