Talk about legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the third time in five years, a team from 91短视频 has won the 2022 international Kryptos Codebreaking Competition. The event, hosted by University of Central Washington, attracted the largest field in the history of the contest \u2013 77 teams from across the U.S. and Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Hannah Leaman<\/strong>, junior Caleb Hostetler <\/strong>and first-year Mana Acosta<\/strong> solved the three required puzzles in record time. To win, they tapped into their abilities to recognize patterns; apply Baconian and Swagman ciphers and Morse code (Hostetler happens to have learned it for fun while he was in high school); and do some \u201cmad Googling,\u201d the team said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know a little more about their codebreaking resumes, though, this win is not a total surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaman, who was awarded the 2022 Outstanding Mathematics Senior Award by 91短视频 faculty, leaves 91短视频 among several talented students who have left their mark in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
