Mathematics
Kryptos Results from 2017
Preliminary results let stuart.boersma@cwu.edu know if there are any errors
One hundred and thirty one students formed 65 teams representing colleges, universities, and schools from California, Canada, Connecticut, France, Idaho, India, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, and Washington.
A new Kryptos time record was set, with the fastest team completing in one hour and 25 minutes, four minutes faster than last year! Cheryl and I promise to make things more challenging next year.
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!
