Kryptos Results from 2018


One hundred and forty three students formed 61 teams representing colleges, universities, and schools from Alberta, Arizona, California,  Florida, France, Idaho,  Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.

Our first place team finished in just under 20 hours, so this year's competition proved quite challenging for everyone.  The Kryptos CodeMasters must have turned things up a notch this year.  The CodeMasters appreciate all the hard work teams and individuals put into working on these challenging ciphers.

Those teams which submitted at least one correct solution are recognized below. The order of the listings indicates the chronological order of when the solutions were submitted.

Congratulations to all!
