I will update this article when each puzzle is solved.

Puzzle 2 - solved by nathanielcwm

"113 117 105 120 111 116 105 99"

The numbers are ASCII characters in decimals. You can solve the puzzle by hand, using a Decimal to ASCII chart or with a decimal to ASCII converter.

Below is the solution and the cipher in python:

print(''.join(chr(int(c)) for c in "113 117 105 120 111 116 105 99".split(' ')))
print(' '.join(str(ord(c)) for c in 'quixotic'))

Puzzle 3 - solved by nathanielcwm

"ZmFsbGFjaW91cw=="

This cipher is in base64 and can be solved with a base64 decoder.

The puzzle and it's solution in python:

print(base64.b64decode('ZmFsbGFjaW91cw=='))
print(base64.b64encode(b'fallacious'))
