Cryptos

[espavo]

I thought it had something to do with the book on cryptography. tried searching for something on google but that didn't work...

[Jello]

yea ive tried that too. hmmm

[Avital]

i have tried everything for back on board. columnar, using "roasakis" as the keyword, rail fence (since the guy just went under a fence) but nothing is working...anyone else?

i've tried those as well... not to mention vigenere, basic shift, substitution, etc etc... i have absolutely nooo idea :/

[espavo]

me neither...think i'll give up for a while

[Jello]

hmm shall come back to it tomorrow

Quite puzzling, you wouldn't know where to start. I found a website for the email address that sent it, the guggenheim-venice.it, thought I'd find something, but not much, it's just a museum.

Re back on board - try the Rail Fence Cipher (used by the Spartans)

[Chris Mapa]

stuck on "a logical deduction", what do I type in? it's all confusing.

You type in 'berththree'. Without the apostrophes of course.

back on board

tried the rail fence cipher and it didn't work for me. can you help?

ANyone stuck on the code from the boat I found a website that will help decode the message

still stuck on boat

tried the link, but i'm not sure at any idea of a key so it seems like i'm just guessing...any hints?

Can you please give me a little help on how to actually use this applet, as i've tried all sorts of different things and haven't managed to come up with a clear and good answer?

[Baloo48]

You have to put the letters in the applet in the order they are written. Pressing the enter key after each line. Then type the keyword in the box provided at the bottom click decrypt and voila the message is revealed. However it is not in standard reading order you have to separate the text into recognizeable words fortunately it isn't difficult. Hint the keyword is alluded to in the handwritten letter accompanying the code.

opps

i have that one already, i'm back on the boat after reading the e-mail from the laptop. i think its either level 10 or 11. that's possibly why the link wasn't working for me
