Hello,

after revealing the plaintext (the fun part) I move on to the tough part of the challenge. In order to avoid physical pain caused by an incorrect entry, I have to ask two questions:

1. The author is asking for the 4 DIFFERENT last names that appear in the quote, right?
2. Is the input of the solution case sensitive?

Kind regards, Michael (FoM)

P.S.: Usually I don't have to worry about details like that because Veselovský has done it before.

Hi Michael,

1. Yes
2. No, it's not case sensitive.

best, newton

Thanks
