above is a message. the question is, how would azurephoenix wright her name in the above code?

Ahh, I feel so special. And stupid. I ain't gotta clue.

still don't have a clue.

[Callipygous]

yeah... ive got nothin. my initial thought was zeroes, but theres no way that works out. there arent enough of them. this has been here for a while, wanna give us another clue?

[AzurePhoenix]

Please give them clues!! I want somone who's good with patterns to figure it out so I can see my name in mystic-number-form!!! In the words of my less-evolved peers "I'm trippin' "

[Callipygous]

is it one of those encodings you learn about in intermediate algebra that uses the matricies and crap? cause those are a complete pain the a...

Well, sequences in parenthesis are individual words, because (70406535) is repeated twice. At least I think. I suppose they could be individual letters as well, but in my opinion its less likely. 70 shows up a lot, but only at the beginning and end of words. 20, 25, and 35 are all very common as well. and 2025 shows up in a few places, which makes me think that is is a combination of 2 letters that are found together regularly in english. Also, (7040636787) and (36787) both have the sequence 36787 in them, so I'm guessing the last few letters in (7040636787) make the word (36787).

 

ah

 

I got it

 

[hide]

(t h e) (b e s t) (m i n d s) (o n) (t h e)

 

(p l a n e t) (h a v e) (l i v e d) (a n d)

 

(g o n e). (t h i s) (i s) (p r o o f)

 

735 = a

682 = b

631 = c

582 = d

535 = e

490 = f

447 = g

406 = h

367 = i

330 = j

295 = k

262 = l

231 = m

202 = n

175 = o

150 = p

127 = q

106 = r

87 = s

70 = t

55 = u

42 = v

31 = w

22 = x

15 = y

10 = z

 

 

It helps when you figure out where the spaces go, until at the end when you realize the numbers that correspond to the letters are in descending order, subtracting 2 less than what you subtracted for the previous letter each time.

oh, and about azurepheonix, its (735105510653515040653517520236722)

 

edit: and its not proof, because I figured it out

[Dak]

blimey, i forgot i about this.

 

yah, any1 who wants to have a go, jcarison was on the right tracks - look for commonly repeating sequenses of numbers to work out which numbers code for which letters etc

 

::edit:: AP: if your wondering, thats why i chose your name, cos its got a z and an x in it, which arent in the original message, so you have to work out the second bit to be able to answre the question.
