Codebreaking Redux!
Here's a little code to keep you all busy for a few hours.

43623232312122328181327323633132.

Note:  The period is just there for punctuation.

Enjoy! :D

EDIT:  Once you find the pattern, it's actually really easy.  It just looks scary.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
Well it's 32 characters long... and pattern based.

So it's divisible by 2, 4, 8, and 16.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ

Another way to look at it, like the WWII codes...
4362
3232
3121
2232
8181
3273
2363
3132

Numbers don't jive with the numerical placement in the alphabet, and
depending on how you look at it, there are some values that are over 26.

Being that it can be divided by 4, the first 4 may well be the key.
Course it might be to add or subtract 4, although the low number values
would appear to discourage subtraction because you'd be in the negative.

Using 4 in a few combinations counting off every 4 digits in various patterns
doesn't yield any more than another code or jiberish.

I think I'm going to sit this one out though, need to start on my modeling
and have a few other projects that require attention. So good luck.  :yes:

That is certainly true.

I feel bad that I got it within the first minute.

If you got it in the first minute, then post the answer... ;7

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
ok:

(highlight)

I need a better code.


There, See? I win.

Here's how I got it.

(also highlight)

I noticed that starting with the second number, every other number is never higher than three. I don't really know why, but I borrowed my friends cell phone (I don't have one *sad face ) to see if the suspicion that that observation gave was true. It was; The first number is which number on the phone, the second denotes which letter on the number.

I win again! :p


EDIT: did I kill it by solving it so quickly?

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
I don't think there was that much interest this time around.  I think people were hoping for something more along the lines of my somewhat infamous "JohnDoe" code.

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
Eh, general interest around HLP has seemingly dwindled recently, at least as far as The Pub is concerned. Perhaps there's more action in the meeting hall, but I wouldn't know.

Being that I use my phone almost constantly, I should've been able to solve it without too much trouble (sizzler mentioned grabbing a friend's phone), but I decided I'd be better off actually doing my job and got back to work.  :p

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
Heh I probably should of thought of that right off....
considering the phone pad-3 method is how I came
up with the bit of code in my location profile listing.

I've had that for... 5 or 6 years now and no one's ever noticed  :)

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
I never looked at your profile...

*Goes to figure out your location code*

Re: Codebreaking Redux!
Here I'll post it for you...

9468 Parallel Word Dr. Artifact, USA. Earth

ZINV Parallel World Drive.... the rest is just junk.

If you knew the series that might be a bit funny, otherwise it
probably has no interest.
