Task: Flag split into two 14-byte halves, XORed together, then encoded through 1-20 random layers of base64/hex encoding. Solution: Iteratively detected and peeled encoding layers (18 total), then used known flag format "grodnogrodno{" and closing "}" as known plaintext to recover both halves via XOR properties.
