Code-Breaking

[jim360]

I was wondering if I could have a volunteer or two -- anyone good at breaking codes?

[pixie373]

Yup. Give it a go. Bibblebub can do it ;-)

[factor-fiction]

Only simple ones. I could never understand those Geocaching puzzles

[AB Editor]

Fire away. I'm sure someone will be able to help.

[jim360]

Well I'm wanting to keep cards close to my chest so if Bibblebub or anyone else does want to have a go then message me at [email protected] and I'll send you the coded message and an explanation.

[wildwood]

lol You come on a public forum and expect any volunteers to contact you in secret???

[jomifl]

This sounds like the opening lines of a Dan Brown thriller ...

[naomi24]

Ha ha! Doesn't it just! Or like one of those scams that offers the lucky candidate a fortune if only he clicks on the link. :o)

[ludwig]

I've mailed you Jim

[jim360]

Well it is a code after all, of course it's secret!

[jomifl]

Jim, if it is code and thus 'secret' why not just post it on AB, or is it not a very secure code?

[jim360]

In the long run I am hoping to use the code in a puzzle that I have yet to write. Releasing the code in an accessible place before that puzzle gets published (if it does) is something I don't really want to do.

Because it's in a puzzle, though, that means that this code needs to be solvable -- and that's what I'm hoping to test here.

Thanks jim, :-)

[bibblebub]

i had a code recently and the blocked nose lasted a week

Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne blessent mon coeur D'une langueur

The long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous languor.

Damn it, excelsior-1: now Jerry knows everything!:)
