I just looked up cryptography and I thought binary was neat. Have all of the other codes been cracked? If not, here's an easy one
- Code: Select all
38, 25, 38
Hint:
Use a standard keyboardHint2:
Left to right

Here's a hint: you don't need to be a math,whiz, but some math will help
I have another one in mind but don't have the time right now. I'll send it out soon...
I don't think anyone every solved this one that I sent

Math. Short for mathematics. 11 letters, 11, two digits, 2+1=3. Math, 3 consonants. Consonants, con, convention. Conventions are used to meet. Meat, comes from animals. Animals have eyes. Eyes, triangles, and spies.
Find the difference
-13
+1
+18
-30
+64
-60
+61
-44
Add them up and you get 23. Answer is 3, illuminati
Need another hint

You were on the right track
Hint 2:
square found the difference. not quite, but what else can you do...

Well the sum is 66 (if I did my arithmetic right) And the cumulative total should be 13, 13, 14, 33, 22, 56, 30, 65, 56
Maybe you use modulo 26? But then it would be 13, 26, 1, 19, 16, 8, 26, 9, 17, but that doesn't make any sense either, unless you're supposed to shift it? There might be a key but i don't think so......

No key, just math.
Hint 3: you used culminate. I don't like that word. But adding is fun

Got it:
13, 0, 1, 19, -11, 34, -26, 35, -9
=13, 1, 20, 8, 23, 12, 9, 26
