Whenever I see tptacek tweet the current stats, I try to update this spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AscYGzcM4zJNdHR...

I've probably missed a few tweets and typo'd a few numbers along the way, but it should be mostly accurate. Note the tabs (at bottom left) for a derived speadsheet (percent of participants at each level) and a chart.



For those watching from the stands, 'rwg also sent us a spreadsheet that does AES. Entirely in cell formulas. He also sent us a Postscript file that appeared to be a visualization of AES state but was in fact a pure-Postscript implementation of AES that rendered itself into the Postscript document.


To be fair, I've only tweeted screenshots of the AES spreadsheet -- you'll be getting the actual .xlsx file with my set 6 answers. AES128.applescript is waiting in the responses@ and cryptopals@ mailboxes right now, along with my set 5 answers.

I don't know what I'll do for set 7 yet. Maybe Excel implementations of the SHA-3 finalists...
