The problem with this test is that there are many encryption systems I would consider fundamentally broken where I could not claim this prize.

To make this a slightly fair challenge, we should at least be allowed to get the clear text of our choice also encrypted with the same key.

I understand they reveal the algorithm so you should be able to encrypt any text of your choice if that helps.
But not with the same key.
