**Challenge Points**: 794
**Challenge Description**: Neo, you are the chosen one. The only person who can make sense of these numbers. Do it.
You might want to see our approach for solving [WTF](../WTF/) before moving further in this writeup (Guessing work in this challenge is related to `WTF` challenge).
In this challenge, we get three ciphertext-modulus pairs:

This looks like we need to do Hastad's Broadcast Attack with e=3, you can read about it in Crypton [here](https://github.com/ashutosh1206/Crypton/tree/master/RSA-encryption/Attack-Hastad-Broadcast). But the moduli looked somewhat strange to me; also the attack did not work on these moduli. All the numbers only contained digits from `0` to `4`. So they can be base-5 numbers.
I converted them back to base-10 (decimal) numbers, implemented the attack using p4-team's [crypto-commons](https://github.com/p4-team/crypto-commons/blob/master/crypto_commons/rsa/rsa_commons.py) library code and got the flag!
