Re: Cryptomania like i said, you did. Or if you are being technical, Stephen King wrote It. |
Re: Cryptomania Now you're thinking :)! But you'll have to redo your homework (it, not It.....) |
Re: Cryptomania Hopefully, you're not referring to yourself. You mentiioned Captain Spauding, Danno and Freud. But they didn't write the message. |
Re: Cryptomania Nope, the captain and the rest had exited in good time ;). But we are talking about a very specific setting here ;) |
Re: Cryptomania which loops back to 7th century ireland, if im not mistaken Could it be as simple that Sister Fidelma wrote it? (correct that, it said he not she) |
Re: Cryptomania Yep, but especially the Ireland of Brother Eadulf and Sister Fidelma... |
Re: Cryptomania And they are Anglo Saxon, which I said before. (going in circles) Or is it as simple as the author of the series, Peter Treymane. Recap: the brother in law is Eadulf (which is important somehow) We need the last name of the person who wrote it (either the message/books) And its a 5x5 cipher |
Re: Cryptomania Peter Tremayne, of course, is the only one writing about Eadulf and Fidelma, as they are fictional characters ;) (though her brother Colgú mac Faílbe Flaind, who becomes King of Munster in real life as well as during the series, is an actual historic figure, so maybe he really had a sister/Sister called Fidelma, that I don't know) |
Re: Cryptomania So Tremayne was all that was needed?? |
Re: Cryptomania No, that's all you wanted to go on.... |
Re: Cryptomania Huh??? Tremayne isn't his real last name, its Ellis. And i can't do anything else if I'm reading this right ... Yes, we know who wrote it, as he started by giving his last name. As for the meaning however....... that's for the far future. ... 2 days and I seem like I'm going nowhere, so I'm missing something so obvious. :banghead: |
Re: Cryptomania You're not so much missing something now, as forgetting something that was apparently quite obvious to you right at the start of the puzzle :biggrin: |
Re: Cryptomania WHERE this message came from (silly me) Treymane is from Coventry. So not 1 key word, but two? Or did we only needed to find where Treymane was from? |
Re: Cryptomania Nope, but I wonder why you didn't try out your own suggestion ;): Quote:

Re: Cryptomania i did 5x5 cipher a long time ago (playfair) Multiple times and got nowhere using the keyword. And you did say to stick to 5x5. So, i must be using the wrong 5x5 cipher, or wrong keyword. |
Re: Cryptomania So what did you get from Playfair then? |
Re: Cryptomania nonsense (don't tell me I had the answer right)] Duh: I spelt Tremayne wrong :banghead: decryptisdotgdslash9vpaaf decrypt is .gd/9vpaaf But you said the 9 was a typo. |
Re: Cryptomania I never said the 9 was a typo, I said it was accidental.... |
Re: Cryptomania If it was an accident, then it's not part of the answer, decryptisdotgdslashvpaaf But again decryptis.gd/vpaaf doesn't exist Aha. Decrypt is.gd/9vpaaf which brings ogham alphabet (funny was looking there :tongue: ) http://s170.photobucket.com/user/Hel...nia01.jpg.html |
Re: Cryptomania There is a difference between an 'accident' and 'accidental' (meaning, the 9 could just as easily have been a 7 or an x or an o, if that's what is.gd hade made of it) ;) |
Re: Cryptomania CRYPTO MANIA HONORATUR SINE CRYPTO NULLUS AMATUR haha Crypto mania is honoured, without crypto nobody is loved. :rotfl: And to think I had the keyword for 3 DAYS and i misspell it. |
Re: Cryptomania Quote:
The answer is actually "criptomania honoratur sine cripto nullus amatur" (with y=i, because the y is lacking from Ogham) or "cryptomania is honoured, without crypto nobody is loved", which is an adaptation of an example given on the Ogham page ;) Spoiler: You're next :arms: |
Re: Cryptomania it wasn't hard, just the keyword was a bit tricky (doesn't help if I spelt it wrong :tongue: ) Can you judge this code? JAAMM LRCSH CTAHE NHEDK VZFNO UQGSO YSGOB |
Re: Cryptomania Jackie Fisher was the first to use oh my god |
Re: Cryptomania yep. Once again simple code. You're next. |
Re: Cryptomania 1 Attachment(s) Time for a hard one. It contains some hints/instructions and will hopefully keep you busy for a whole week... Attachment 79775 |
Re: Cryptomania the character is the newscaster from Futurama. Decoding Alien Language 2 using this decoder gives Me luv dots, see? Probably have to decode the top left image. I can't see what is above his shoulder (unless it's you, Bolaf). I also see me, Hel, and Bruja in dots. Since they are in dots, I think they could be: Binary or Morse. However, since there's 3 colors it could be base 3, or Hex. I thought it was QR code for a bit. |
Re: Cryptomania ... decode the top left image ... Yes. Both, dots and colors... ... Binary or Morse ... Neither. But there's an allusion in "Me luv dots, see?" and I don't mean Braille. ... colors ... could be base 3 ... They are. That's his native number base (look at his hands :biggrin:). |
Re: Cryptomania Green 0 White 1 Yellow 2 or any other combo not going to work You said colors AND dots. So, colors is base 3. Dot's are not: Braille, morse, or binary, you said. Hmm. Would be it the number of dots, and what they represent? E.G. the first line: 20 1211 1112 11 21 10 121011 |
Re: Cryptomania 2 Attachment(s) Attachment 79783 Once again, couldn't see it without using some tricks :) http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/attach...nia-crypto.jpg - Bolaf, Hel: just white dots - Bruja, link: white and yellow dots Do we find the message in Morbo's dots? If so, could you give us a sharper enlargement than this ;)? Attachment 79784 |
Re: Cryptomania 1 Attachment(s) ... Green 0 White 1 Yellow 2 ... White? Isn't it (light) blue? But you're right, that's their values. :nod: ... number of dots ... Only their values - same as in decimal ('77' is 77, not 27) ... couldn't see it ... Bad bad Nord. Must convert all to crappy JPG. Here's a close-up: Attachment 79785 [EDIT] ... Bolaf, Hel ... Bruja, link ... Our avatars aren't relevant, he's just a fan of us. ... Morbo ... Yep, that's his name. Good to know... |
Re: Cryptomania 1 Attachment(s) Quote:
Spoiler: but I suppose it doesn't matter exactly, as long as you can discern it from the others? (and the avatar colours are unimportant as well?) Hmmm, the grid is actually made up of 4 things, green, grey, yellow and blanks - but too many of those to just suggest spacings between letters/words :thinking: |
Re: Cryptomania ... slightly greyish white ... doesn't matter exactly ... Like you said, as long as it can be identified (as '1') it's ok. ... avatar colours ... We (our pics/names) don't play an active role in this puzzle. I just had to fill the other tiles nicely. |
Re: Cryptomania Morbo's shows are on the √2 Television Network. I agree with hel with the spacing. It's also weird with the numbers: e.g. 0002200 It looks like Hex color code. |
Re: Cryptomania ... √2 ... Correct, but not important for us. ... grid is actually made up of 4 things ... Dots and colours are independent. The blanks are only for the dots. The colors are sequential (line wise), ignoring blanks. |
Re: Cryptomania The size is 25x25=625 so there goes my theory with spacing. Spacing isn't binary |
Re: Cryptomania ... looks like Hex color code ... The 3 colors simply are symbols for the digits 0, 1 and 2. I could have used other colours; just wanted the dots to look like little lights/LEDs in a computer panel. ... 25x25 ... Well, the number 5 plays a certain role in the dot pattern (a not so well known and relatively new - compared e.g. to Braille - encoding method; but there's even fonts for it). |
