My code

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Sat Jun 02, 2001 4:20 pm

This is a code with a question
"#|*|!|") $|!^|%|"( ")|*|% !#|!|!& "|%|^|!^|!* *|!|"(|")|(|!$|&|"( $|!^
this is hard right?

No one wants a go?

I took one look and decided it was too difficult...

Okay, I will think about it... if I don't come back it's cos my brain has exploded from thinking too hard. (It's not used to it.)

I'll have a go at it - but I need to know if there are any spelling errors/typo's in it??

Don't think I can solve this with out programming skills

Useally I can crack such codes, I just don't seem to be able to get started on this one

Craig, I think I understand the principle of your code, trouble is that my Swedish language keyboard are totally different from the English language. I could try to set it to English, type and see what signs I will get from number 1-9 SHIFT, and see if it's the same as you have. Or am I off target?

It's american the @>" are switched and #>(pound sign) the ~>| \>#

This is what I get from my keyboard:

Swedish version:

! " # ¤ % & / ( ) =

American English version:

! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )

So as you see, my keyboard isn't compatible with yours whatever I do. Maybe it's because I have one those really small laptops with extra small keyboard.

But now I guess we've made it easy for anyone to crack the code, so Americans or Brits, please go for it.

Is that thingy on the $ is that your currency?

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jun 03, 2001 11:26 am

No Craig, it's not our currency. (Swedish currency has no special sign like £ or $, it's just "krona", "kr" for short.)

I have no idea what the ¤ thingy is...

How many words are there in this code? I say 7, please tell me if I'm wrong.

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Sun Jun 03, 2001 11:45 am

I'd say 7 also

Yeah - me to

(but it irritates me even more that I can't crack it myself

I hate it when I fail at stuff like this

)
