I assume the punctuation and capitalization isn't encrypted. The only one-letter words are a and I, so n h and j must be "a" because otherwise it would be capitalized for I. So it's not a simple substitution. Somehow the code changes depending on where you are in the sentence? Am I on the right track?

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 line 4 has "llm". I can't think of any three letter word starting with two of the same consonant, so 'l' is a vowel. And, the only word I could think of that is three letters and starts with a double vowel is "eel" which makes me wonder what the message says... right track?

0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Because there are 3 single characters, but generally only 2 single character words in english, my guess is that this doesn't use a simple substitution cipher, unless it changes arbitrarily. Given the special characters, I'm thinking that the cipher has to do with ascii hex values, but that's a shot in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) No word or method has been correct so far. here's a little help: 1)don't worry about punctuation when solving 2)each line does not have separate code 3)there are no arbitrary changes in the code 4)and it's not simple substitution this will both clarify and reinforce thinking in the right direction for this Spoiler for this isn't as big a hint as I'm making it out to be... or am I?: just testing you =) seriously though, the title of the topic is a pretty decent hint. I'm still gonna save my BIG hint if needed. keep having fun! Edited June 5, 2008 by itachi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 No word or method has been correct so far. So the n h and j are not "a"? Hmm... that stinks. That must mean that the spaces are not necessarily in the right place either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 This one is tough, feel no shame in peeking at this hint: Lost in space was trying to decode the message for a while so he lowered his head and sighed.

Having not looked at the other posts yet, I wanted to point something out. I don't think there is a three letter word that has the same two first letters... is there? Also, is there some sort of significance to "Mcb" being capitalized? and one more question (probably should have asked first) Are these letters just substituted for other letters?

0 itachi-san Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Itachi-san, Do you have a hint bigger than your bigger hint? I am very keen on this quiz but still not able to solve this. Sorry about the typos in the last 2 lines, go with what d3k3 corrected: Sicop n vuykce ujhi yu h dwxes'u ged? Zowd kct nqui qucmui lne orvj zluyocaug: Uszmo erxos eq vlfql bqo oasnlrl hblb yq Mba, Dri ybuvoc's mgdwj nhbq kwl uqr wmuyb j nltf Here are some hints: 1)the typos would actually barely get in the way of solving this encryption, because it can be solved by just using the first line. =) 2)The analog clock was the BIG hint. 3)Adding to that: Only counting each hour once might help you out.
