On Cruelly the Look Up of Ed Balls
“Do you even have the balls of courage to tackle dem?”
- If the frame is not red, you’re looking at a different module.
-
The letters are E, D, B, A, L, and S, but they are encoded by performing each of the following transformations exactly once (but not necessarily in this order)
- Each letter is Caesar shifted by a fixed amount (possibly 0).
- Each letter is converted to flag semaphore, rotated by a multiple of 45° (possibly 0°), and converted back to a letter. A letter will always be rotated into another letter, never the numeral (#) or cancel (-) symbols.
- To disarm this module, undo the transformations to return the letters to their original form and enter the message “ED BALLS.”
- Pressing an incorrect button will result in a strike and reset your input, but will not cause the buttons to change.
