It's the first letter of the first word, then skip two words then the first letter, then skip two words, first of the next, skip 2, then the second letter of the first word, second of the fourth etc.
I deleted my edit since it made me look like an asshole :/

It's the first letter of the first word, then skip two words then the first letter, then skip two words, first of the next, skip 2, then the second letter of the first word, second of the fourth etc. Edit: It took me about 45 seconds to break. I'm a reasonably intelligent 13 year-old. (This is to tell you who was able to break it and whether you think that's it's too easy or not) No, that is incorrect. If that method worked out, it is probably a coincidence. I'll write another message and you can see if it still works. tbf hmcvt mhrr aao ihae oosnusi rwgysisc nith nisng The brown frog has many cousins visiting this march. |

No, that is wrong, because you are not using the correct cipher method.

Every ninth letter is part of the first word, then every eight is part of the second etc.
Assuming you remove the used letters.

Again, wrong.

Sorry, every ninth letter is part of each word but you begin at the start of the sentence at the end of a word.

I do know one thing: in the second ciphered text, the ciphertext and the plaintext are not anagrams of each other: ergo, assuming both were typed correctly, it would be impossible to use the rotation scheme that TheGuiltyParty was using...

My apologies, I translated the second one incorrectly. I've replaced it with the correct version (and, no, nobody has gotten it yet).

...so are they anagrams now? What if he...CODED IT AND THEN ROTATED DUN DUN DUN  Or maybe if it is an anagram, then it's most likely only a rotation. Also, that uncapitalized m in March is nagging at my brain. It makes my soul restless. |

Hmm, two of the same letter at the start of a word, is there any words in the English language that do that? If not, then this is not a straight cipher.

Aardvark, eerie, but I only know double vowels. Wait, llama. That's about it.
So, if it's a three letter with a double beginning, it's definitely not straight...

It has been done. Now, only after being able to use excerpts from Elmach's work, did I finally figure out how to encrypt and decrypt.

It has been done. Now, only after being able to use excerpts from Elmach's work, did I finally figure out how to encrypt and decrypt. Eqefee dmc susr sneao pe tacnreesrer re ireopa cttaado... I cannot read Esperanto. I assume that the answer is "Espero t que este frase es encriptado de manera correc ta". I creiat taie Qefeedmca. E sshhns susr sne aonaps ae "Spetacn rnd eutw eesre ro rmereireta er opacnt tataodo." Things I've noticed: If one word is longer than the rest of the sentence, then it is easy to see what that word is, or it's form in the ciphertext. If similar words are repeated, then you often get repeating letters. Example: Ii tf lot fw ttf lotswe tt slo tfw tt slot, swet ttl otfwe uya ool st hie fhio hh iefh, eot., hhee fhi o hheef heot hh he fhi otnor uf ee, rter ree rtecrc eecter re ect ecrcee iter, rct., uett sts dnsto dnotsd no tod nrtsd i tte, tte., nnetn end etl err dd rdrdrr?Note the segments [uf]ee, rter ree rtecrc eecter re ect ecrcee dnsto dnotsd no tod nrtsd for instance. It's also hilarious seeing random words in the ciphertext. For instance, iter in a place near I put etc., end near the end, etc. EDIT(made the same time as my post below): Fixed deciphering error. My cipher is still with what I said before-- I creiat taie Qefeedmca. E sshhns susr sne aonaps ae "Spetacn rnd eutw eesre ro rmereireta er opacnt tataodo. is encrypted form of I cannot read Esperanto. I assume that the answer is "Esperot que este frase es encriptado de manera correca" not I cannot read Esperanto. I assume that the answer is "Espero que este frase es encriptado de manera correcta". |

It's Spanish, not Esperanto, and I was hoping that I would have encrypted it in such a way that decryption would have turned out as "Espero" ("I wish, I hope") and "correcta" ("correct"). Either I failed to encrypt correctly so or you made a slight error in decryption.
Espero que este frase es encriptado de manera correcta.
I hope that this sentence is encrypted correctly (lit. "of manner correct", i.e. "in the correct way")...

Post by Elmach on Jan 24, 2012 21:37:19 GMT
I made a mistake in deciphering. I thought that the first word had seven letters. That pushes the "t" in esperot to the "t" in encriptado, and that "t" into the "a" in correca, the "a" in correca into the "a" in encriptado, the "a" in encriptado to the end of "correct", giving the right answer. |

Post by Fringe Pioneer on Jan 25, 2012 18:48:27 GMT
That depends on whether you go so far as to use Enigma ciphers, in which case I would unlikely be capable of solving it...and that's an understatement. Assuming the ciphers are closer in difficulty to this one, except slightly more difficult, then sure...
