0 Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 It can make matters worse... 111 106 40 101 40 104 117 107 40 103 101 116 40 104 122 105 101 115 40 111 116 40 101 114 114 40 103 117 114 117 122 123 There seem to be a relation, so maybe it´s better to keep them binary...

0 Guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 crypto try and failureIF A THE WAS TODAY IS ALL WHLHOmaybe a starting point for someone else? Based on your answer... it seems you figured out that the "00101000" character must be a space. Converting binary to decimal you get 00101000 = 40. Knowing that 40 had to translate to a space somehow, I looked at an ascii chart and noticed that in base 8 (octal), 40 is the space character. So if we translate the rest of the message into decimal, and then treat that as octal ascii code... we get: Spoiler for Answer: IF A DOG CAN DREAM IN ALL COLORS You guys were already on the right track and did most of the work.

I would really like to know how you got that. You got some of the characters right, what happened with the rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HoustonHokie Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) I would really like to know how you got that. You got some of the characters right, what happened with the rest?translated the binary to decimal & got the same answers as Skywalker. Then I ran a char(X) function to get the ascii characters. I saw they were all lowercase letters, closing parentheses and one close brace. I figured the close parentheses were spaces, the close brace was a period or question mark, and treated everything else as a regular cryptogram. I just went wrong on the cryptogram portion - figured you were completing a sentence, I guessed "if" and "the" is one of the more common three letter words in English. The cryptogram method would actually have worked, except I wouldn't have gotten "colors", just "color" - I just never figured on "dog" Edited December 6, 2008 by HoustonHokie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
