0 Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Shouldn't the RGZXQK word be just RGZXQ ? Or did I screw it up somewhere? Edited September 11, 2008 by Sinistral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yoruichi-san Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Okay, to help with the bonus, here's... the speech: NSRIJHQ, HGEITG, DHWLYUFUHJ, UFJH VH XIWV ANJB. L DHUH KL EQVF DONSKJ, IDL KL CYJWES YFP. Also, I made a mistake in the original, I used the wrong spelling, it should be DONSKJ instead of DONKSQ.

0 Guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 OK, I'm reviving this topic because of Y-San's new one here. If it hadn't been for the hint at the end of this one (and a ton of help from Wikipedia), I never would have been able to get the answer, which doesn't seem to have been posted already... The quote is: The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar (spoken by Mark Antony in the play) The "algorithm" that you used was what threw me off, and I only figured it out when I saw the hint and somehow knew it was "... lend me your ears" (the end of the first line of the same speech the OP quote comes from). I reverse L/S that answer and found out that you used a substitution like the following: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ REDOANGYLWBUVITCFHJKMPQSXZ I had enough presence of mind to notice that it was the colors of ROY G BIV (less indigo) spelled out, without repeating letters, followed by the remaining letters of the alphabet in order.

Yes! Thank you! . Someone else actually PMed me the quote, but they never figured out the second "algorithm". Great job! ;P Edit: Oh, and there's another puzzle I recently posted with no replies that's kind of related to the quote here...

Question
Yoruichi-san
One of my favorites, and one that I think is under-appreciated:
KEV ARAM KELM VHJ OJ UMARS RGZXQK KEVH; KEV GPOJ LE TMZ LQYXQWQL QNDE KEVIR EFDJS.
-QNMSMKI JRLUCSLMNJQ, WAGMOI DONKSQ
Bonus points if you can figure out what "algorithm" I used for the added layer...;P
And since I'm in the mood, I'll end it with my newly invented Lelouch smiley (read the Anime Battle Royale topic in Others if you want to know why): -\-/
