So... am I supposed to put in the arab part or the english part in the answer box? Or is there another hidden message within the txt file? Hm...

No.

The Arab text is the answer, yes.
Didn't it work?

It didn't work. I even changed it all the lower case, since I saw hint 2 (or was that refering to the password).

No.

Oh, I think I found the problem!
When validating the answer, newlines were removed but not replaced with a space.
That was causing multiple-line answers to fail unexpectedly.

Sorry about that, should be fixed now!

I would like to add that answers for all cryptography challenges will ignore any characters that are not alphanumeric. Commas, apostrophes, etcetera are ignored. Rephrased, you only need to enter characters and numbers. Case also does not matter. Since most people don't know this, is it possible to include a note on top of the Cryptography page or an FAQ section for it?

In regards to spacing, answers should be entered in one large line. Should you include any newlines, they will be interpreted differently, as Gendou stated. If you have any problems with any other challenges, try changing the spacing to reflect this. (Instead of a newline, use a space.)

By the way, Gendou, I spoke to you earlier on Skype about Cryptography Challenge #21. I believe that the same spacing issue is what is causing my answer to be declined.
Edit: I just tried the "answer" again, and it did not work.

I also wanted to clarify - did you fix the answer to this challenge to accept a copy and paste from the text? Or should your answer be in one big line (which was accepted for me)? Or both?

1. I fixed the system so that it treats spaces, newlines, and tabs equally.
2. I tested #21 just now and it worked fine.

I can download it just fine.
Maybe your antivirus software is blocking it?

I'm wondering why I miss this one (crypto25), manage to solve it for awhile. But it seems my answer always gets refused. It is strange da~yo~ne?

----- UPDATE -----
Now it's fixed, my fault for copying it from a hexed :P

Don't know if you guys still do this...
I got some problems. I have the text from the extracted zip, but anything I try gets refused. Did try with the original, then the translation, but nothing gets through. I copy and paste from gedit. Even replaced all capitals with lowercase.
