CS 2110 – Encryption Chase

Clue #1 A

The most classic of ciphers will aid you here

as you search for exam points most dear

First you need to find in Olsson Hall

your Systems classmates' pictures upon a wall

My apologies to those I do not mention

But the form of a number is my intention

Draw from Austin to Hudgins to start the clue

Bradley to Slotness is the next you should do

Hudgins to Jividen completes this measure

Now reveal the next step in your quest for treasure!

Clue #2

The 80's are a time I hold most dear

Turtles and Transformers I love, it is clear

My sister, though, had a different creature

Tenderheart being the primary feature

On the second floor of MEC you can see

several planes of different pedigree

One of these has a similar name

to my sister's toys of fame

Using the man's name in the caption

take the following action:

Take the name as the "Frenchman's" key

to decrypt the following for me:

SFCIP OX HGJXPSKR WH CTLKGCLL

The answer of this poor rhyme

should be placed here in due time:

Answer 2:

Clue #3

We hold "Court" near Thornton Hall

but no judges sit this bench

Celebrations happen behind these walls

But could used for anything in a pinch

Find the plaque upon the ground

nestled against the building’s wall

dedicating the pathway to those around

so that his name is remembered to all

Take the two primes on this plaque

and using a more modern cipher

decrypt the following stack:

(Is there anything that rhymes with "cipher"?)

Answer 3:

Clue #4

You have gone through quite a bit

as I have forced you to sit

through story after story of random facts

and lessons upon lessons of Java nicknacks

But something you might not have gathered

that there is something that I rathered

to have had at my side

to help the time abide.

Clue #5

As a right of passage for each student

you all march when it is prudent

down the Lawn that was created

for those whose thirst for knowledge was not sated.

Two men guard east and west

one sitting, one standing in his best

The two always staring across the grass

their gaze never wandering from this task.

Societies of orators that honor these men

share a room nearby where then

students of all kinds will share their stories

and escape from the semester’s worries.

A date stands on the door to this room

Use it to unlock the clue below from it’s gloom

The shift you make will be impressive

But continue around to find your missive.
