Decryption for Beginners by Arshad Tayyeb

June 18th, 2006 10:47 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Title aside, this is a fairly difficult task, but you'll be rewarded accordingly. Members of EquivalenZ will often run into situations where they're required to extract useful information from something that doesn't want that data revealed - in the most literal sense, this means you may find being able to break codes useful. Certainly, this can often be done by computer tools that handle just about everything themselves, but we'd rather you had some idea of what's going on when you click "decrypt". Ergo:

As long as you play fair, you'll find the key to this puzzle is right under your nose.

Also! As of 6/28/06, the message - and the instructions for how to provide proof - have changed. This is the original:

I don't think we have to post an image of Garfield, although I was tempted. This puzzle had me scratchy my head for a while, then I figured out what I was doing wrong.

These are a few of my favorite things.
