CRACK THE CODE CONTEST In accordance with Contest Rules 15 and 16, since only one person entered the contest, and since nobody has solved any of the three messages, all three prizes have been awarded to this contestant regardless of outcome, as of September 5, 2018, although the messages will remain online at this web site indefinitely hereafter, in the event people try to solve the messages. Everyone is welcome to continue to try to solve the messages, but no additional prizes will be awarded. The contest is over. ********************************************************** All the Prizes Awarded to: Ramon Rojas Inastrillas: Madrid, Spain. He did not solve the messages but has been awarded the prizes by default. ********************************************************** Three messages written entirely in code must be decrypted. You will be given a link to download the file when you enter the contest, so that you can use it on your own computer to test and attempt to decrypt it.

Allow 24 - 48 hours after you enter for the download link to be sent to you. If you do not get a reply or a download link within 48 hours, please contact the web site.
