LCS35 is a cryptographic challenge and a puzzle. The idea is to calculate the one-time pad

2^{2^t} \pmod n

in order to decrypt the ciphertext z, which in this case includes information to factor n. The value of t was chosen to make the calculation take about 35 years since the puzzle was published in 1999.
