Puzzle #4 - Color Code

I did caesar shift on the first word by 16 then got this:

IAUWHZQYX

Then I used anagram solver and got this:

AX WHY QUIZ

or Ask why quiz

Anything to this?

Sorry to spam...I really think that the title is scrambled in a similar way to the message or holds the key to unscrambling the mesage. 8uhnbsgt62bs. I really want to know about the 8 and 62. Why are they there?

Here's my findings on the 16/18 shift after anagram solver...parenths mean I can't find an anagram:

ax why quiz (VMRBEM) (EFWVUX)(QHVIQZS)(XTZQHMX)low my

Just for giggles, here is the QWERTY code translation of the code given to us:

latukpqoi yvwsgb ghuyti qkylqpe irpqkvnni ivbpm

I'm just wondering if we're supposed to shift the message, say 4 letters to the right on the keyboard. The non-alphabetical nature of the keyboard would explain why decrypto's not working.

I dont think its QWERTY related.

I even tried shifting the values by the amounts defined in this table (its the difference between the green hex value and the code given to us):



I got:

jvulocgdz kuebfm fglkuz gokjgcm kfzsr j k k k k j c e y

Which looks completely ridiculous now especially the 'kkkk' in the last 2 words.

Has anyone tried converting it to binary, adding 862, dividing it by 16, then inputing it as a hex to convert it to base 64 while spinning around in circles yelling anagrams of tongue-twisters? Just an idea. I'm sleeping now

The page has changed! Did someone finally solve this one or did they just take pity on us?

whats going on did we get it or did they just give up on us figuring it out?

If you don't tell us how you solved it, we'll be forced to wrap you in various shades of purple tape.

Good job!

oh well done.

Must know how it was solved. For the sake of my mental health

Wow, nice job! Please come back and tell us how it's done!

Congratulations!



Beaten by a newbie with a post count of 2! lol

We're not worthy, we're not worthy.

Even more than that, THANK YOU! Now we can get the purple bars out of our head.

I started with:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
asdfghjklpoiuytrewqmnbvcxz

The bottom row moves one spot to the left after each letter. Taking "SKEGRJAIH" and starting with the 'S' under the 'I' you get INVISIBLE when following this pattern.

The bottom row is taken from the keyboard layout with starting with the middle row (forward) then the top and bottom row (backward). I stumbled on this when I used qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm and notices some words starting to form.

I wish they wouldn't use keyboard layouts, as Europeans and Asians dont have the same keyboard layout as Americans.

Not that i thought of trying the keyboard layout
