It is March and the lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "hint".
Suppose you're trying to log into a computer that isn't yours. The password hint is "Mary's violet eyes keeps John up." What passwords might you try?
I can't claim credit for this "puzzle". I got it from William Murphy, by way of the Epstein files. Murphy, as near as I can tell, did IT work for Jeffrey Epstein. He set up the computer password and set up the hint.
Hints, rot13'd:
- Pnershy! Zhecul zrffrq hc jura jevgvat gur cnffjbeq uvag.
- "Znel'f ivbyrg rlrf" vf evtug ohg "xrrcf" vf n zvfgnxr.
- Jung zvtug Z… I… R… or n zarzbavp sbe?
Answer: in an email from Murphy, preserved in the Epstein files.
