« Caesarian Shift »
In this mental competition, players face off in 1v1 match-ups, racing to solve a caesarian shift cipher that clues them in on a previous player this season.
The first two competitors will be decided by random draw, and after that the winner of the duel selects the next two players to go head to head.
A coded message will be posted, in which the letters have been muddled by a form of cipher called a Caesarian Shift.
The Caesarian Shift changes each letter in the phrase a number of letters up or down the alphabet. To decode the cipher you have to reverse this, by changing each letter a number of stops on the alphabet, until the sentence begins to make sense.
Once you have decoded the message, you will discover that it is a hint to a previous player this season i.e “First Player Voted Out”.
If you think you know the houseguest the ciphered message is hinting at, you must say *buzz in* and then, in a separate post, say what you think is the answer.
NOTE: Buzzing-in does NOT stop your opponent from answering, it’s just a hurdle you must jump before you can answer.
If you buzz in and answer with the correct player, you eliminate your opponent and advance. However, if you answer incorrectly first, you are eliminated instead, and your opponent advances. Either way, the first person in the pair to post an answer will determine both their fates.
The last player standing wins Immunity.
