0 Prof. Templeton Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm always intrigued by Yoruichi-san's puzzles and I hate to see them languish. "involutes" makes me think of the constant "e". Also the word "enigmatic" in the hint makes me think of mystery or Mr. E. So, I'm torn. Do I take the E out or leave it in?

I was wondering how many views it would take before someone attempted an answer...this puzzle may be short, but it has several parts that require figuring out...(like my problem sets in college... )... But you're right that about the keyword in the hint...but it's referring to something different...;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 He hates involutes does that indicate what the mystery word is or is it an anagram? Knowing that you don't give much hints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yoruichi-san Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hmmm...well, Woon, and everyone else, let me tell you a story...;P My favorite anime of all time is Neon Genesis Evangelion. In this one episode, the humans have to fight an Angel, which happens in every episode. All the Angels have a different form and some look biological and some are 3-D mathematical shapes. Well, in this case, there is a big black sphere that is hovering over the city, casting a shadow. Well, the Evas (the big robots) try to attack the big black sphere and they can't do any damage to it. Then they realize...that what they've been fighting, the big black sphere is actually the 3-D shadow of the Angel, and what they thought was the shadow was the actual Angel! So they attack the shadow on the ground and defeat it. So what's the moral of the story? Well, the same thing applies here... ...instead of Angels and shadows we have sentences and ciphers...;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I can only think 4 1 210 252 127 14 51 16 175 128 32 might be a better number code If the shadow is angel and the angel is shadow, then the other part must be some sort of cipher key But I've spent all day trying to combine ir with this (very basic) interpretation through rotating ciphers and got nowhere: 18 9 11 25 1 14 2 5 12 Someone else must be able to help - this is driving me mad!!

0 Yoruichi-san Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Okay, since it's my birthday (9/26), I'll give you guys a present...here's my final hint: How many letters are in the second part? There's a very good reason for this. My method wouldn't work with more than this number and although it could work with less, it would be harder for me to have constructed it... Now, if you want to give me a present, SOLVE THIS! ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
