Challenge #165: KRYPTOS!!!

Verakso
11 - Bolide

Fun and amazing challenge.

 

I will blankly admit that I do not understand the ½ of it, and my take on section III was the lazy one.

 

But shout out to @danilang for showing the way and make a macro.

 

First I did the logic for Section I and was about to replicate that to Section II, but since they are the same, a macro is the right way.

It is rather amazing what you can do in Alteryx.

The overall workflow looks like this

And the macro it self looks like this

Yeah, so obviously I did not solve Section III as it was intended, but still this challenge had me intrigued, and I have spent some time on reading up on this sculpture

 

Apparently the artist has given a hint to Section IV, that the characters 64 to 74 is BERLINCLOCK as that would help 😄

Got there in the end with a LOT of help from spoilers posted by other, smarter, Alteryxers. I don't think I'll be graduating top of my class from spy school.

Fun challenge! I used a Python script for the DEBUG part-- hope that wasn't cheating.

Here's my take on sections 1 and 2, I didn't even understand what I was supposed to do on the rest. (shame, shame, shame)
