Apologies for the delay. Here is your hint. You have already done this. Although in simpler form, the concept is the same. Apply numbers to letters. Then rotate the phrase in equal sections. That is all.

Well, it seems this thread is dead. Therefore, I will let it be. However, allow me to beat this dead horse once more and reveal the answer to the last puzzle. The code was: Kikabv uiiea, ymb jslkwap aa jgzb avqwzbkbffo. The major hint here is the word SIX. Solving this crptogram involves using SIX as the key. Each letter denotes how far each shift should be. Since there are three letters in the key, there are three shifts. Seperate the phrase as follows:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>K--a--u--e--m--s--w--a--g--a--w--k--f- -i--b--i--a--b--l--a--a--z--v--z--b--o --k--v--i--y--j--k--p--j--b--q--b--f-- </td></tr></table>  The three codes look like this:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ STUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGH ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ XYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW </td></tr></table>  To solve, take the first section of the phrase and use the first cipher. Find the correct letter on the bottom row and swap it with the top row. Repeat for the other two sections. Thus, you get:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>S--i--c--m--u--a--e--i--o--i--e--s--n- -a--t--a--s--t--d--s--s--r--n--r--t--g --n--y--l--b--m--n--s--m--e--t--e--i--</td></tr></table>  Combining the sections yields Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting.

Ah, I see now. Quite a bit more complex that I would think of. Little wonder I never got an answer. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /wacko.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wacko.gif' />

Allow me to perk this thing up with a coded O&M quote: OLLP ZG NV! R'N Z HGZI! KZB ZGGVMGRLM GL NV! I'd give you the key, but then it would be too easy.

Easy. After a bit of frequency analysis, the key is obvious. This cipher simply flips the alphabet in the middle. Here's the key:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>A=Z B=Y C=X D=W E=V F=U G=T H=S I=R J=Q K=P L=O M=N N=M O=L P=K Q=J R=I S=H T=G U=F V=E W=D X=C Y=B Z=A</td></tr></table>  This may be easier to read:  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKIJHGFEDCBA</td></tr></table>  Thus, OLLP ZG NV! R'N Z HGZI! KZB ZGGVMGRLM GL NV! becomes LOOK AT ME! I'M A STAR! PAY ATTENTION TO ME! Here's a tip: next time, exclude punctuation. The biggest hint was letters 9, 10 and 11. The R'N stood out as I'M and few letters besides A stand on their own.

Here I go again with my zarking double posting. However, 'tis Forum Games, so 'tis no such a big deal. Anyways, onto to the cryptogram! Today, I shall be providing you with a hint of my project, to be revealed tomorrow. Thus, it is not a difficult crypto. Ajm ocjnz rcj nzzf wpo xviijo adiy Bitma bpib pidm jmmv tmnb jmpqvl. Gurer funyy rkvfg n znc bs gur znmr Vq tgfkueqxgt vcngu htqo daiqpg fcau. You shall be provided with one hint: What works for one does not work for others Each line is seperate, a different cipher.
