Heres a new game for us to try. One doper posts a sentence or paragraph that is in a certain code-thing, like cryptograms. Everyone else tries to figure out what the sentence says, then they post it and as much of the code as they know. They then post a new sentence/paragraph with a different code.
Example:
Jqpe pe tnxf g jyd. Lt xtj my gngfcyl.
means
This is only a test. Do not be alarmed
when the code is:
a-g
b-m
c-z
d-l
e-y
f-k
g-i
h-q
i-p
j-b
k-v
l-n
m-c
n-x
o-t
p-a
q-h
r-f
s-e
t-j
u-w
v-s
w-o
x-u
y-f
z-r
So, here’s the first one:
W oa jsfm jsfm jsfm pcfsr. Gc pcfsr hvoh W oa rcwbu hvwg.
No, not a standard Vignere Square, but related to it. I’d never heard of it until now, it’s pretty interesting; especially that Babbage cracked it and never told anyone.
Actually, the Vigenere cipher is quite easy to crack if you know what you’re doing. However, Wikkit’s code is far too short for me to attack it using one of two standard techniques. Hmmm…interesting…
