    I have been working hard and for a long time on this challenge and now I have to ask for help.
    I have solved the first part and I think I have found a way to solve the second part, but it doesn't work. One of the hints in the forum says that there is no relation between the first part and the second - another hint says that of course there is ! What to believe?

    I have assumed that the second part is encrypted exactly the same way as the first (but with another key). Can someone confirm this? Or can I PM someone to show what I'm doing? I would really like to know if I'm totally wrong about this...

    Thank you for your reply, Mastermind! Can you also confirm that solving the first part tells you the length of the key for the second part?

    Normally I wouldn't ask for such specific help, but as I wrote - I'm desperate! \":)\"

    You may PM me about your progress, but there is nothing more that can be said on this topic in an open forum.

    How can you answer that question if you didnt solve the first part?
    I repeat the question: After solving the first part, do we know the length of the key for part 2?

    hess

    PS: I dont know how ppl say first part is easy...honestly it took me 3 days of freaking hard work to find the first plaintext, hours and hours of hard work....
    Maybe Im too stupid, I dont know...But I think I know what its needed to do for second part, and its not very funny. If I could PM someone to confirm my thoughts?
    TIA
