That's a tricky one, as the thing you make isn't a bomb - it's more like an incendiary grenade, and wouldn't actually do what the one in the story doesIf you have the film hint, you already have one word - you just need one more, and there's only one explosive device I know of that has that word in its name.

Hello!!
Hey ppl...
Just stumbled upon this riddle a couple of days ago...and since I usually dont hve anyting to do in my working hrs, i started on it and it is really bloody brilliant....
And with the hints posted in this thread, I reached the final level which obviously you all have completed but I'm still having trouble doing so.
From what I read and deduced, the cipher to use is the Hill Cipher. But I'm not able to figure out the keyword as of yet. Either I'm not thinking along the right lines or I'm completely dumb.that said, I saw Kuang's post that the word is IN rhyme and it rhymes with an important word in the message. It is also supposed to be a 9 letter word right? And I still can't figure out where Louis and Marie come into play.
Any hints???Most probably I'm just missing the obvious. ( It happens all the time).
This riddle really is eating my brain. I Love IT!!!good work Cryptos!!

Part of the Hill Cipher is that the key can only be a square number in length - 4, 9, 16, 25, etc - and this gives the size of the grid you need to use. If you already know the size of the grid, you can therefore deduce the length of the keyword, and I may have dropped a hint in about that
As for Louis and Marie, that's where your rhyme comes in - try to find out which famous rhyme was allegedly written about them and you'll have all the info you need to work out the key.

thanks for the reply Kuang...
Btw, I had already figured out the rhyme that is mentioned isJack and Jill...but I can't figure out ta keyword....If ta keyword is indeed 9 letters long, I can't find any word in the poem that is 9 letters long.....If its four, ter is a lot of possibilities...just tell me tis much...is ta keyword actually there inside the rhyme???
EDIT:
got a keyword...
tried using that...got ta inverse matrix..but when i enter ta text onto the cipher text and click decrypt, nothing is appearing inside the plain text box!!!!???*puzzled*...
EDIT:
figured that I have to use lowercase for it to decipher...but still, the key is wrong....oh well....am keeping on trying....Last edited by Ashwin; 01-10-2007, 10:41:48.

GOT IT!!!
thx for the hints ppl...
but i still can't seem to get the keyword.....hmm.....
off to get some more coffee...
EDIT:
guess the coffee did me good....
I'm so stupid. I myself live in singapore and I know this road very well too. But the fact that all this was happening in singapore kept avoiding me. Guess I was brain dead. Still, the coffee did it for me...
Waiting for the next levels....come on cryptos....Last edited by Ashwin; 01-11-2007, 03:40:30.
