My code

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Sun Jun 03, 2001 11:57 am

Ok, this is what I've worked out so far.
Replacing !-1, "-2, #-3, $-4, %-5, ^-6, &-7, *-8, (-9, )-0 |-[new letter]. You get:
23,8,1,20 4,16,5,29 20,8,5 13,1,17 2,5,6,16,18 8,1,29,20,9,14,7,29 4,16
It doesn't seems to work since I get 29.
The numbers translate to: "What dpe_ the maq befpr ha_ting_ dp". This doesn't make any sense.

Edit - now if you change 'p' to 'o', '_' to 's', you get "What does the maq befor hastings do", it still doesn't make sense.

Xandax, it's frustrating to have cracked the system of the code but not being able to read it out because of my keyboard.

Do you also have another keyboard than Craig?

Or is it your cognitive functioning that is problematic?

*LOL* my "cognitive functioning"

Well I've a Danish keyboard, so I'd expect it to be pretty similar to yours

no it makes sense

What is the actual message? Or do you want us to keep on trying?

I want 10 people to want me to post the message any way theres a question in it so youll still have to work it out.

The question doesn't seems to make any sense to me, if anyone else can figure it out please do.
Craig - tell me if I'm on the right track or not

What have you got the question to??

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Tue Jun 05, 2001 6:15 am

I posted it already, this is what it come to, I think:
"What does the maq before hastings do?", but it doesn't seems to make any sense to me, if you read my previous posts, you'll see how I got this.
Any idea on what it meant to be?

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Tue Jun 05, 2001 6:19 am

Don't know of the word "maq"???

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Tue Jun 05, 2001 6:23 am

No, that's what I don't get.

Can't help there (for now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I am able to extrapolate from the following attempt at decipher-ship, I believe the coded question is:

WHAT DOES GAMEBANSHEE RATINGS DO?
