Next Crypto:

Linkin: Good afternoon, Bolaf.
Bolaf: You too, Linkin. You asked for my assistance?
Linkin: Yes I did. I have a encrypted message, and I thought you could solve it.
Bolaf: Well, certainly I'll give it a go.
Linkin: I thought you would. I've ordered you some rib while you worked on it.

I love it when I don't even know what to do with the clue! :lol: I'll try different things, but I'm sure I'll be back asking for a clue to understand the clue...

... what to do with the clue ...
Atbash. Not that it's enlightening... because I don't know where Link lives or what's important in that info (assumed chain: USA, California, Los Angeles, Santa Monica). Could have to do with times/timezone, though I doubt it.

In any case, the word 'rib' in the intro is peculiar... :thinking:
Thought of Adam's rib -> Genesis/bible... but then again, which bible version?
As a sidenote, human body has 24 ribs, a number range in which the 'hour'-values (1 to 23) reside. Sadly in medicine there's no individal (latin or whatever) names for them - usually they're just enumerated, that's all.
I forgot: the first four 'hours' (1, 18, 9, 2) also read 'A RIB'.

"Hours" is also important

Re: Cryptomania

Hi there. Just came back from a power outage!
Hint: Rib and Hours have something in common. Focus on the country instead.

Re: Cryptomania

24 ribs in a 'typical' human rib cage (12 pairs); 24 hours in a day (2x12 if you go by the am/pm system instead of the proper 24 hrs notation ;)).

So common factor is 'pairs'?

Correct. One of them (AM/PM) you need. Rib hints at the right one.

Didn't know about the 24 link ;) interesting

So either the AM group...
01:10 09:05 02:16 05:04 04:08 06:04 08:10 11:10 07:08
... or the PM group...
18:01 21:04 19:06 17:10 12:01 23:06 20:01
(06:01 09:04 07:06 05:10 12:01 11:06 08:01, respectively)
... is the actual message?

Another thing I was wondering about:
If the 'hours' are hours, does it mean that the 'minutes' are minutes too?

All times are GMT +2. The time now is 01:30 AM.
