0 OmegaScales Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) 1 and 2 are solved. 3 and 4 are the right people, but you didn't translate the quotes. You obviously did translate them for yourself, saya, but not for the others, as I had intended. I will I'll reveal the logic for each now: I took out the spaces then flipped the order and put spaces where they originally were. I simply changed each letter to the next. When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.-Abraham Maslow I used the Al Bhed language from Final Fantasy X. It has a specific letter exchange system, and there are online translators.Here's the one I use. A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.-Douglas Noel Adams I actually ran out of ideas, so I searched for secret codes and came upon "The Super Secret Code Translator!" Needless to say, I used it. I'll add the other quotes later. Edited March 1, 2011 by OmegaScales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
