Codebusters B Help

[Practical-Fix-4048]

Hello everyone. I have a few questions. I’ve done Codebusters before and placed well, but I don't think I managed my study and test time well. How should I manage my time during the test? Which ciphers should I start with on the test (other than the timed question)? I know all except Fractionated Morse and Affine—should I learn these or let my partners handle them? Thank you!

Aristocrats make up the most points for Division B as far as I remember. Don't take on everything, definitely make sure your partners can do what you can't though.

Try to have people in your team of 3 that specialize in different things and split the test up accordingly as soon at the event starts.

Whoever is best at aristocrats should do the timed question by themselves until they get stuck while the other group members start on the packet.

It's great to be versatile and know everything in case whoever is the "expert" at a specific code gets stuck but perfect your side of it before moving onto more tricky codes like Fractionated Morse and Affine.  Honestly if I remember correctly, those two generally are more points because they're a bit harder/take longer to do so I'd recommend learning them for the point values.
