View Full Version : Crack my code.

I recently read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. It got me a little bit interested in cryptography.
So I thought I'd start a little game. Crack my code:

ANWW NFNT AHSI DHSO IGTE OIGA HRNS NNEE EIIT

I'll give you one clue to start off, but in future codes, I won't be so lenient.
Clue 1: Caesar
Clue 2: box
clue 3: clue 1 + clue 2 + google = ?


Don't be afraid to google crytography and decryption. :)

Have fun.

I cracked it. It reads "I have too much free time on my hands."

j/k dude :)

One question; is it straight letter to letter? As in BOG DOG = FAT CAT?

I read Digital Fortress too. That book was awesome!

Of course, if my parents had read it, I probably wouldn't have been allowed to... ;)

Now, to try to figure out your code. :)

Yeah... Some parts were kind of predictable... I kind of had a hunch about "how it really was" from the start... But, I loved the book :)

Should be easy for you to figger out, I think.

I stink at this. :)

I wish I had that super computer they had in the book...then it could instantly translate your code. :p

haha... I don't think it would actually work though :)

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE WHO IS INSIGNIFIGANT

Not that I actually know how to decode it, but when you make it obvious like that throught the hints.... :cool:

I was figuring you'd be interested in this. ;)

Your turn!

Ditto. I would think I'd be good at riddles, but I'm actually terrible. I get stuck on one (wrong) line of thought all the time.

Got it.

ANWWNF
NTAHSI
DHSOIG
TEOIGA
HRNSNN
EEEIIT

and then there was one who is insignifigant

Realist, I saw your message, and just thought it was you commenting on Insig's return. I didn't think that was the answer, but it was. To prove that I solved it alone, I posted the answer above.

If we're doing vigenere ciphers, I call foul.

We aren't but that's an interesting cypher :)

Ok, I'll work on those soon enough. Must go to the store now.

Read Simon Singh's The Code Book. You'll like it.
