Pvcure Punyyratr

Yes its that time of the year again. Cipher Challenge 2011 has begun (in case you want to test yourself have a go and solve the cipher in the title) and man i'm excited. Considering that i currently have nothing to do in the evenings apart from sit around and watch endless hours of american comedy (a.k.a. scrubs, the big bang theory and how i met your mother), which are all excellent programs worthwhile giving a watch. On a related note, if you're already a fan of either of the last 2 then both their new seasons are out! Just head over to your favourite streaming site to give them a watch, because knowing the English Tv scheduling they won't be out here until at least November at the earliest.

Anyway, as i was saying I've had little to do for the past few weeks, so cipher challenge is now not just an awesome thing to do but also helps me fill in some time. However saying that this weeks challenge was pretty easy, but that was expected being the first week and all, got to break the newbies in gently. If you're one of those newbies looking for hints, then tough luck you won't find any here because this year i'm determined to win, after last year's disappointing finish.

After submitting all our previous ciphers hours before the deadlines, we went into the final cipher quite pleased, however to put it simply it was impossible. No, i don't mean we found it impossible, it was actually impossible with the only way of solving it was with brute force and if you know what i'm talking about then you'll know that  that means impossible. So this year i'm determined to do better, so on thursday nights don't expect any blogging , unless of course like today the cipher is easy then i'll be blogging still.

On a different note, i've finally finished my UCAS for good. After weeks if thinking i've finished and having it all held up because the careers adviser didn't know what to do, i've finally sent it off but paid the pricey sum of £22 for the pleasure. However i should be soon rejoicing in the delights of getting places, or just wallowing in self-pity as the rejections roll in. Either way it should be an interesting time, but until then i'll just sit here watching my american comedy and deciphering my ciphers. Oh what a wonderful life i have!
