Re: Cryptomania
 

@Bruja:
Sorry for not having posted each find/idea, but most of them didn't feel like being important enough to be worth mentioning. Anyway, here's my current experiment (replaced the digits 0/1 with ./# - which makes it easier to spot patterns or structures - and inserted breaks right before the #-triplets):

Looks cute, eh?

[EDIT]
Played around a little bit more and put breaks right after the long gaps; turns out it can be interpreted as morse:

###..#..#.#.#...#.......
TESE -> THE?

###.###.#...#...##..#.#...###.###...#.## #...###.#...#.#.#.......
GEDMANS -> GERMANS?

#.###.###...###.###.###...#.###.#...#... ....
WORE

###.###.#...#.###.#...#...###.#.###.###. ..###.###.#.#.###.###.......
GREY,

###.#.###.###...###.###.###...#.#.###... ....
YOU

#.###.###...###.###.###...#.###.#...#... ....
WORE

###.#.#.#...#.###.#.#...#.#.###...#.
BLUE

It probably should read "The Germans wore grey, you wore blue". Now, in Rick's Cafe we have Rick/Sam (American), Elsa (Norwegian), Lazlo (Czech) and Renault (French). Who had the blue uniforms? I dunno... the U.S. Navy? Or the French: light blue?

Re: Cryptomania
 

Nope, that kind of substitution isn't going to get you anywhere, I'm afraid....
There are breaks involved, different types actually, but not in the places you show.



[edit] :lol: I see it did get you somewhere after all :arms:!



Well done, and over to you :jossun:

Re: Cryptomania
 

Drat, you're right. Made those first two lines manually. And boom, two type mismatches :lol:

Anyway, I go for Captain Louis Renault.

See the edit :winnerthu

(I've learned that the easy way for these longer transcriptions is to do it in Word and use the "replace all" function :biggrin:)

Re: Cryptomania
 

The stupid witch strikes again...
Is there another way of doing it??? do you have a script, or app, or software program, or online tool for decoding things?? I only know how to use my pencil and paper :cry3:

BTW: Bolaf (and Hel, too), don't pay attention to my sissy fits, it's just that sometimes I feel I don't belong to this thread... I'll have to find a way of growing at least one neuron more :rolleyes:

Re: Cryptomania
 

There are online tools for almost everything, just google 'binary decoder', 'from hexadecimal to ASCII' or whatever (almost everything has been done, including Morse ;)) and see what comes up. There are also some sites dedicated to encryptions/decryptions/codes/ciphers, like the one I mentioned the other day. As for the "OCKIIAOOI - to - 1111 0011 1011 1001 1001 0001 1111 1111 1001" substitution, as I mentioned to Bolaf, I was quite proud after thinking of using Word for that :biggrin:

By the way, don't worry about not belonging: while I (think I) know what I am doing, Bolaf is really the only one who knows what the others are doing.... He didn't reopen this thread for nothing :lol:

Re: Cryptomania
 

... lines manually ...
Well yes, I typed them (just for testing) by hand and forgot to check for errors. Basically I use the replace-function in my text editor, just like Hel does, that's the quickest way actually.

... my code ...
:lol: I even imagined that Sam = Samuel (Morse) connection for a very short moment when I analyzed the names, but discarded the idea because I thought it would be way too far fetched. Sneaky Hel...

So the 2nd clue was Rick himself (who spoke out that very phrase), after all... :)

At least you really didn't overdo it...
1. text to morse
2. morse to binary
3. binary to text
... and 3 encyptions are allowed.

Let's work on the next riddle...

Re: Cryptomania
 

*sigh* Let's see whether I'm a bit luckier with next one...

Re: Cryptomania
 

Actually, I never thought you would go as far as to analyze all the characters of the clip who could be seen and heard :). I just figured you would go with the title (though I'm not even sure if I would have thought of linked 'Sam' to 'Samuel' myself .....) while the 'heard' was an, admittedly somewhat obscure, additional reference to morse normally being heard rather than seen.

Re: Cryptomania
 

... and it continues with some world class literature dealing with hyperdimensional cryptophobia. We're looking right at the climax of a heated discussion, held by three mystics, about deciphering patterns of ecstatically firing neurons, where Bolaf wonders if Bruja is a 'hex' and asks if it wouldn't be better to insert imaginary torture after the token - just to raise a harsh protest...

"Add real pains after the token," replied Bruja, "to trigger some schema of nibbles! D'oh! Wander off!"
Hel said: "I am very sure that all half nibbles legitimate a nerve cell utopia, witch!"

Of course, we need a clarifying hint now...
