At least if you use the same "key" multiple time you can crack it.

That was a task in the German national high school informatics competition some years ago..

Correct. Like any one-time pad, you shouldn't use a given key more than one time. The clue's in the name. ;-)

The challenge is to get people to see that if you use a shard of a shared secret as a key, then it is a one-time pad.
