Puzzling Asked by user58284 on April 22, 2021
I received the following challenge as a homework problem. Not much info is provided with it, except for the word Decrypt! at the end.
This problem is online on a password protected school site. So I cannot post the link. (No-one without an account would be able access it.)
This is for a course based on cryptography/network security
A hint I received said that I should look into the html code. Which is pasted below. I noticed the “nbsp;” tag repeats quite often, and exactly 57 times, which is also the name of this challenge in the URL code ie.. www.website.com/challenge/#57.html
So based on the hint to look into the html and the #57 in the url I believe it is possible this   tags are what to focus on.
Any help or clues on how to solve this would be appreciated.

Splitting it 8 digit by 8 and converting binary to UTF-8, we obtain a 15-character phrase:
You can also convert using on-line automatic tools like this one.
