It's one of the following:

As to deciphering the second part and making sense of it, haven't done that yet.

its code #2 but i won't tell you any more after that because that is the hardest part of the coding.

Please if someone figures out PM kg_lildude1 instead of posting here. kg can give credit him for being the first, but I wanna try it until I find out (if I realize how xD)

Okay, so now that we know the sequence it still doesn't make any sense.

The only way to figure this out with the information we have currently would have to be nothing but luck.

Also, considering the fact that you gave us like 8 clues for the 'easy' part, what makes you think we'll get the harder part?

I know how to do this(people who like history know of the square messages for the ancient roman millitary) but frankly, I'm just too lazy.

I believe we've already established the Ceasar's Box concept. This is more complicated though.

BTW the code 2 is incorrect, theres a 'Y' in the 2nd row, theres no 'Y' in the original message, probably a typo (maybe someone was guessing using that table :P)

Ahh thanks for pointing that out.
Yes its a typo.

Fixed it now.

exactly why i made and modified this

momo2oo2 · Oct 20, 2005, 03:47 PM // 15:47

Ok, a clue each day, but a clue for each code hm? xD As first is beaten...

Also, in Australia its already tomorrow and the gwg forums are international :P

Cyniusz · Oct 20, 2005, 04:51 PM // 16:51

fan of Dan Brown by any chance ? new books al about Cryptography

whoops, sorry made the comment after just looking over the code on the first page.

Cyniusz · Oct 20, 2005, 05:09 PM // 17:09

So far ive already worked out the Ceasers Box, and tryied to decipher it using the simple 1 forward (B=A) or 1 back (A=B) but it makes no sense yet. Ill work on each method of coding i know until i find it.

/5 Minutes gone :P

I prefer the matrix hammer code. It's used for encryption and is pretty good because even if one letter is corrupted in the code, it can still be translated back corrected. It's also condensed, so the actually message is longer then the coded message.

Ive tried stuff like that already.. including 4 forward/back and 6 forward/back and then trying to put that in a box again.

Edit. Placeholder for correct answer.

kg_lildude1 · Oct 20, 2005, 07:06 PM // 19:06

one, no thats not the message

two, i said PM me if you think you know the answer, do not ruin it for others who want to figure it out themselves

John Waffletord · Oct 20, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

so whats today's hint going to be?

Riplox · Oct 20, 2005, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Oh god, I'm sorry. I was in a rush to finish and I forgot to read the whole thread. Sorry.

kg_lildude1 · Oct 20, 2005, 07:20 PM // 19:20

T in the code = C in the message

hint for the day

Riplox · Oct 20, 2005, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Ok cool. Now I have somewhere to start. I was having trouble trying to find the shift.

ZRKV RMWE NEMV PIZP VUFV JFJZ LRKL FKTU NYC.

This is what I can deduce from the T=C theory. Hope this helps you guys.
