Happy_Dude Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I suddenly have the uncontrolable urge to give something away. Up for grabs is a H.E.S multi-cart (PAL) "Super Hit Pak" containing the games: *Frogger *Stampede *Seaquest *Boxing *Skiing It doesn't look very good and some of the end label is missing but it does have 5 games on it Like before this is a question you have to answer to win BUT you have to answer using the same cypher as the question in other words you have to encrypt your answer so it looks like the question I rechecked the code this time so it is correct. UEEIAAOO,EOOI,OOEIAU,IIAAIEAU,IOEA,OOEIAU,AIIOIEIUAAIIUO,OOEIAAOO,AOAUOIEOEEIIAUAO,OOEIAU,AAOOAAOEEO,EOAAEEOUAAOE? 1 guess per person until I reset the guesses If this contest ends up being too long I may start giving clues.

krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Okay, that's wrong. I haven't quite sorted out the logic of the code and there's one letter in the answer that isn't in the question. Hopefully I'll get a chance to guess again before anyone else works it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I rechecked the code this time so it is correct. Are you sure the last letter of the second last word and the first letter of the last word are both encoded correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all correctly encoded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 It's all correctly encoded Then I've obviously missed something subtle. Either way, can I guess again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 EAIAAAOEAU Assuming you did make a mistake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 It'll be interesting to see if that's right, or off by one letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Well, the same code can't equal two different letters, so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 The same code can equal two letters, if the encoding of each letter depends on something that came before. Enigma did this. But I meant, it'll be interesting to see if your answer is right, or off by one letter. My (new) solution has one letter different to yours.

Rhindle The Red Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Well, I hope it's not that complicated. I'm just assuming a simple replacement scheme. Any more than that and it's too much like work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 EO,UEIOIIAOAUOE,EOEA,EIAU,UEAUIIOO,OOIO,AEAUAO...... (using my scheme) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 EO,UEIOIIAOAUOE,EOEA,EIAU,UEAUIIOO,OOIO,AEAUAO...... no I didn't O.K than.... EAIAAAOEAU is correct and NO I didn't make a mistake I also would have accepted EAIAAAOEAU,OOUEIO or EAIAAAOEAU 2. Please PM me your details and I'll mail your cart as soon as I can The Jaguar was designed by a company called Flare 2. VOWEL CIPHER http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/codi...379/lesson2.htm Louis Mansfield introduced the concept of a vowel substitution cipher in 1936. [MANS] In the vowel cipher the key alphabet is written into a square with j=i, like this: Damn text formating go to the above link for a diagram Enciphering is row by column or t = OO ; h = EI ; and e = AU. The entire CT message enciphered is a succession of vowels. The CT will be exactly twice as long as the PT. I'll have to make it a lot harder next time.

krisjohn Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 It was the i=j kludge that caught me. Congrats Rhindle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Then I'm lucky the answer didn't have a "k" in it. I just wrote AAAAAEEEEEIIIIIOOOOOUUUUU then AEIOU...next to each when I saw that fit my assumption that "OOEIAU"="THE" (OOEIAU is the only word used more than once - best way to spot "the"). I quessed you just skipped "k" as it was between where the "E" string ended and the "I" string needed to begin. Didn't know it was a pre-exiting cypher. I would never have thought of that "j/i" thing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
