Truly Kryptic - Try this game for a challenge

This game was popular on the forums a while ago. I tried to revive the old thread but that wasn't working because the URL has changed and people didn't realize that. Unfortunately I can't edit the post to change the URL.

So here's the new URL: trulykryptic.com

Try it, if you need any hints for particular levels or if you have any feedback you can post here.
I just begun but at lvl4 shouldn't it be -21 instead of +21? I found the answer but when i read wikipedia on the way Caesar cipher works : the answer shoul've been (assuming i understood what i read) "esp dpncpe hzco td eclydazce".

But i'm not the brightest guy on earth so ^^
Proustino, you're right. It depends on how you interpret the "+21" we wrote.

If you consider +21 to refer to the offset from the ciphertext in order to get to the plaintext, then it's correct. However, if you consider it as being the key/offset which enabled us to arrive from the plaintext to the ciphertext then it should indeed be -21.
Hey, any idea for level 10? :D We stuck there with my gf :P
Getresh, the first step is to identify the people. When you do so try searching in their Wikipedia pages for something in common between them. If you still can't find it let me know and I can provide you with an extra hint.

It's great fun to play these kinds of games with your gf, if you both search together I'm sure one of you'll find it.
Problem 5 is illusory, as 5 has been compromised.
