You're given Schnorr signatures on two different messages signed by the same private key. Fortunately for you (the adversary), the signer screwed up their implementation of BIP-340 and reused a nonce.

Can you capitalize on this fatal error and extract the signer's private key?

Note: You may find it helpful to interpret some of the byte strings as ASCII, in order to check your work.
