Man...I was two seconds too slow. good job.

haha, dammit you guys, i just got it on the substitution, but i didn't know what it was from!

Could it be from the movie, the knowing, with Nicolas Cage!

Here are the two tools I was using anyway, in case it helps someone next time

Step2: (Transpose the letter backwards x2)
THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED WAS CONVINCING THE WORLD HE DIDN'T EXIST

Step3: (....& that's a direct quote from)
The Usual Suspects (1994)

Well done my friend! You've got it spot on, like I said I only intended to have a little fun - perhaps I'll start another thread with something a little more difficult.

One last challenge then eh? For your the winner.. the cipher was:

Archaic Spree

Solve??

Is there an echo in here?

Good job mooba, beat me to it.

Of course the G was the letter E because it repeats quite a bit.

RWNNGF - I was thinking the NN were vowels like EE or OO, didn't even think of LL

FKFP'V - and I thought the 'V was an 'S

The usual suspects... The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

Crap!! I took too long ''

"The power of the herd" as I think Springer/SkepticOverlord would describe it really shows it's worth in a thread like this, that's what I like about ATS, a lot of fine minds on this site means that was going to get solved pretty quick, and it's the same for all the other threads posted.



I tip my hat to Moo, good work.

My guess is "Wargames"

Online Cryptogram Solver

Once the binary was translated, it looked like something in the funny papers...that led me to the online cryptogram solver...worked very well...i think i was the weakest link.

...Well - I'm officially dumming down now, I don't have the foggiest on your final challenge sunshine... there's not enough to go on (ARCHAIC SPREE?? - - nope you got me there pal) & I think I may have broken my brain on the last puzzle...

But anyway, thanks for that it was fun to do, also funny to read some of the posts but very much a team effort when you see the different layers of contribution & how close run it all was.

Nice one guys...

I think its anagram for caeser ciper

reply to post by KSPigpen


haha - weakest link? it was neck & neck man, you posted yours only moments after mine & I very nearly hesitated to faff about to add in qoutes & links so it could easily have gone either way..

LOL, my spelling was atrocious there, i mean CAESAR CIPHER

reply to post by jimminycricket


oh I hadn't thought of something like that - good call

it's probably 'something' cipher - maybe?
Is there a 'Ceeser Cipher'? you're missing an 'A' otherwise

EDIT: good call!!
EDIT: now my spelling is atrocious!!

I shouldn't have said "I think it is", i'm 99.9% certain

en.wikipedia.org...

It's another name for substitution cipher, like rot13 and others, basically what we had to do to solve it.
