ALL

I have picked 3 words and encoded them using a secret cipher.

Any user with the trustworthyish badge may request one word of their choice to be encoded using my cipher. (Any number of trustworthyish users can participate, they each get one word.)

Your job is to figure out the full cipher. If anyone posts the solution before close, the market resolves to YES. Otherwise it resolves to NO. (Specifically, you need to come up with an algorithm that has the same outputs as mine for all input words.)

SHA256 hash of the answer: 7b72dbb71907944333763ff8e824af0fa6abc47a31587b2e14e6edb8afe610f6

Can we do this again? I think there’s maybe 85% odds we’d get it if you’d encode one more word, that’s of a different length and doesn’t share letters with the previous encoded words.

predictedNO

Eh, I don't really want to deal with running this again given the small amount of interest there was last time.

@IsaacKing :(

@IsaacKing Can I get one word, just for fun? 🥺 (To mix metaphors, this puzzle has been eating at the back of my mind.)

predictedNO

@oh Pick a word. :)

@IsaacKing Is this correct?

Nope

@IsaacKing What is it, then? What about just the letter a?

@IsaacKing This is more complicated than I thought. :D

Testing current theories… can you correct the wrong ones?

@IsaacKing How much more patience do you have? How are these?

Encode the word: "" (empty string)

@JamesBabcock Nice. You'll need to get a blue check to make that request. :)

@IsaacKing Oh, I was under the impression that by "trustwortyhyish" you meant "doesn't subjectively look too much like a sockpuppet". If it only means users who have a blue check on this site, then I don't expect this to be solved.

predictedNO

@JamesBabcock Oh, no, I meant the specific badge. (So as to restrict the number of guesses to a reasonable number.) Sorry for the ambiguity.
