| Feb 1, 2011 at 22:42 | comment | added | Thomas O | @Bass5098, nope. It's just a difficult ciphertext which has been tainted to make it more resilient to frequency analysis. | |
| Feb 1, 2011 at 22:25 | comment | added | Kevin Brown-Silva | The last cipher has 5 M's in a row, but there are no words that I could find with more than 4 repeating letters. Is this an error in the cipher? | |

| Jan 31, 2011 at 8:40 | comment | added | C. K. Young | @Thomas: In other words, if you want "elegant", at least define clearly what "elegant" means, so we're not dealing with blind men and an elephant. | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 8:36 | comment | added | C. K. Young | @Thomas: I think mootinator's response to my post is a good middle ground. If nothing else, it will help you articulate clearly what you are expecting. Personally, I prefer to use a cut-and-dried winning criterion, simply because that has less potential for dispute, but, the fact that mootinator responded the way he had says that reasonable people can disagree on the level of black-and-whiteness required. Which I can live with---just be upfront with what you want. | |

| Jan 31, 2011 at 1:12 | comment | added | C. K. Young | Re "most upvotes": I'm unhappy to see this become a popularity contest post, not least because the post is otherwise excellent; see meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/110/… for my thoughts on the whole matter. | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 0:14 | comment | added | Thomas O | @Joey Most upvotes? Let the community decide. | |
| Jan 31, 2011 at 0:07 | comment | added | Joey | What defines »most elegant«? I think that's the same thing that Chris objected in 99 bottles already. It's a subjective criterion that's quite hard to judge. | |
