Make up a cipher that translates each letter to another letter, something like this:

Code:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
__________________________

zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba

(Note: The code can be in line, reversed, scrambled, whatever. I want a challenge. Just make sure that each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a different letter.)

Then encode a paragraph using this code. (This can be from anywhere, as long as it has at least 3 complete sentences, and is in English.)

I will try to figure out what you said.

I could make this into a forum game, where each successive person tries to figure out the code, but that would be a bit advanced for most.

It is just a monoalphabetic substitution cypher, frequency analysis ftw. However, people could make tiny sentences not giving you enough text to work with you should have a 100 word minimum.

Well, I said at least 3 sentences. The book only used 1 sentence in the example lol

What book? It is almost impossible to crack a one sentence cypher. It is almost equivalent to a one time pad.

"Secret Languages." Old book, I forget the author...

Maybe I should have made a letter minimum...

All right, you win. I will make a project of your choice, provided it's not too complicated.

This is harder than I thought. GAME CLOSED.

Wait, SIK, you are IrishArcher? And I though it was a prank signature!

SmartIrishKid · 2009-05-09 13:56:08

Yep. "Irish" is the key word here.
