Secrecy by Meta tron

November 21st, 2007 8:08 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a secret code. Enemy agents are everywhere and secrecy could be necessary in any situation; the use of your code shouldn't require the presence of a computer.

ALTERNATELY

Write your own encoded secret rules for your group. Anyone of the same group who mails you must be given the translation and/or a way of reading the ciphertext.

If another group deciphers your secret rules, you lose.

Below is an encrypted set of rules for the trajectory of BartPA. Anyone of BartPA can ask me for the keyword + method or a translation.

Anyone from a rival group can have the method in exchange for a vote.

I am a keen enthusiast for puzzles and simple codes, this code was made up especially for this task and can be worked out using a pen and paper.

If you figure out the code, please write me a short message, using the same code and keyword as I have used, in the comments below.

Here's a vote :)

Thanksgiving is so annoying. Such a breeding ground for family drama; my grandma and mom are bickering as I type this.

Do the Brits eat Turkey?

We don't do thanksgiving here. We eat turkey at Christmas though. : ) There is some kind of turkey drought this year though so turkey prices are going through the roof - makes me glad I'm vegetarian!

They culled loads of Turkeys this year due to various outbreaks.

We have it on the news everyday in Yarmouth, so close to the Bernard Mathews factory.

Yeah, I know you guys don't have thanksgiving... It's the American's *edit* I mean, the colonists who stole all the Native Americans' food, slaughtered them, and then declared it a national holiday.

I questioned if the British Isles have naturally occurring turkey on them, or if you have to get the bird imported.

We genetically produce them in Norfolk.

I feel lame about not trying to work out the code myself.

But then, it's been weeks and I haven't found more than a few minutes to work on Lincoln's code, and haven't even begun to think about Black MegaBee's submission.

So, since this is a rare opportunity when I can say this, gimme the code.

is "duwell" supposed to be in there?

posted by Meta tron on November 24th, 2007 1:03 PM

well spotted h.I.a.Bug it should read 'udwell'

(does this mean you've figured it out?!!!)

Loki: My code is of a similar ilk to Lincoln's, - except it's not 500 years old ; P
some clues - It isn't a monoalphabet cypher but it is solvable from what you have there, not like a one time pad or anything. : )
Vixen: do you want the method or were you just being generous?

Damn you confounding us all with this mercurial code. Well, I welcome the adventure of finding the hidden, so I shall figure it out if it kills me!

!!!CHARLIE FISH!!! - I don't know how... but you are up to something!
It may be a coincidence but the post it with the keyword on is missing... since you came over... hmmm..... ; P

I take it back Charlie, you figured it out fair and square. :)
