alt_padmaEffie, that tablespoon error was well-spotted. And Perks, good on you for recognising that there was far too much salt in the recipe compared to the amount of sugar. Donovan, good show with the maths. It's a good job the three of us know our way round a kitchen, though, because that really gave us an advantage. (And yes, 'cinnamon' is spelled like that.)
Pansy, you and your team did really really well. I wasn't sure we were going to break our code before you translated yours! Well done. It was close.
Marvolo and Weasley, I shouldn't feel too bad if I were you. Zach said the bit about blatching was really convincing and clever. I think you both ought to get points just for realising that the passage was incorrect! But that would be Quidditch game theory, wouldn't it, and not codebreaking. Still, it was a noble effort. And besides, finding codes where there aren't codes is actually pretty easy to do.
Still, this was loads of fun, and thanks, Professor Sinistra, for including it in the programme.
I hope everyone's ready for tomorrow's fitness testing!
