YABA4 - hint 2 - answer
Shortly before this hint was posted, a page
explaining how to decrypt Vigenere code was also added to
the t-hunt.com website.
This page was added to give players some experience
in decrypting Vigenere codes, since these codes were used
to decode hints and answers during the game.
The encrypted message in the hint was in Vigenere.
James Bond (Agent 007) has been known to
play many games, but is best known for playing baccarat.
Using "BACCARAT" as the code word (where A=0, B=1, C=2,
… Z=25), players could decipher the encrypted message using
the table on the Vigenere code page.
The decryption resulted in the following message:
"Learn the rules of baccarat at www dot the wizard of odds
dot com slash game slash baccarat dot html"
Those teams who actually learned the rules
had a much easier time solving clue #14.
