Code...

I'm a bit hopeless with technical language but I think this is a thread...
Anyway, I was told to post my code here!

8 11 26 12 16 3 4 19 9 22 18 3 13

Good Luck!

Hmm. I really don't know. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say 'know'? I meant 'care'. I don't really care.

Re: Code...

I'm not sure if I've just had lots of fun or if I've made sense out of chaos.

I'll wait and see

Re: Code...

Not sure if I know the answer or not but I've racked my brains in the style they appreciate.

I'll post my workings (Whether correct or not) once others have had a stab at it.

I'm sure it's much simpler than I turned it into (And relevant to Sherlock Holmes).

Then I must be off by a thousand miles (Unless you relate Sherlock to Jesus or Solomon?)

Re: Code...

Since no-one's guessed I'll post a really big clue:
QWERTY

Got it! Aren't we all? Am I allowed to post or do you want others to have a go first?

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

I AM SHERLOCKED

But I am really intrigued on what answer you got m0r.

8 11 26 12 16 3 4 19 9 22 18 3 13 (Added = 164)

s p a o k x w h r e i x n - reverse alphabet (Most likely)

h k z l p c d s i v r c m - standard alphabet

s k a l k c w s r v i c n - alternating alphabet 1

h p z o p x d h i e r x m - alternating alphabet 2


Repetitions: XX + CC (20 + 200? - CCXXi = 221?), K (Spanish for what?), S (Romantic for is?), I (Eye?), P (:D), h(?)

Caesar cipher:

Sher ok Xian pwax, Sher pink oaXwax ,shaken wax or pix , hoaxers pink wax, a Xerox wash pink, kin ox phrase wax, apex shark win ox, seraph ax know xi

Best anagram from most likely alphabet: pawn sher xxi OK.

Best match for other language anagram: pax rex his know (Latin for 'To know the King of Peace')
-----------------------------------------------------

From 'Clue'

Vigenere Cipher output using 'qwerty':

rovuwenweeyew - standard alphabet

ctwxrzglnnpzx - reverse alphabet

Corresponding symbols:

* !! @^ !@ !^ # $ !( ( @@ !* # !#


Numberic keypad:

T (symbol) am a mdg xbd d


Official Estonian Alphabet:

ILÖMRDEZJUŠDN

Forgeign Estonian Alphabet:

HKWLPCDSITSCL

^That's what I got.

Re: Code...

I love the hoaxers pink wax and a Xerox wash pink. Is that a study in pink m0r? The bit I can't get is the CCXXi=221. I can see where you get the repetitions of CC and XX which are in the last column but does the i come from the fact that it is repeated in each line? Strange how 'Sher' actually appeared in the Caesar cipher. I wouldn't have got it, in truth, had Molly not given the querty clue.

Re: Code...

Oh! I just saw your post. You count along the qwerty keyboard from top row across and then second row. So 12 corresponds with S on the keyboard, 16 with H and so on. Only the letter keys though not any other symbols or punctuation keys.

Re: Code...

Yes, the QWERTY thing was a BIG clue!

Earlier I'd tried the alphabet backwards and forwards A=1, B=2 etc then A=26, B=25, and then I'd tried alternating so A=1, B=26, C=2, D=25 and loads of different combinations like that...Was very fun though!
