Code Breakers Challenge by fx0ne: 10:19pm On Mar 10, 2013
Just For Fun:

I am sponsoring a competition called c0de BREAKERS Challenge. Every Night for the next 5 days, I will put up a message (ciphertext) which you will have to decode / decrypt into plaintext. The First person to complete all five (not 4, or 3 or 2) will be given £1,000 (N250,000)

All 5 messages must be decoded to win and it is open to anybody. The competition closes on Sunday (17-03-2013) and the winner (if any) will be announced here.

Please note: Give only the plaintext. NO hints will be given. There are no special skills needed - just an opportunity to stretch the mind and have a bit of fun in the process.

1st Challenge:

This is actually quite simple. You have successfully decoded the first message. Beware though, the next one would not be so simple. All the same, well done.
