    Thanks, i lost the code :p.
    I'll try to solve it (sick at home-> got all time of the world :p)

    EDIT: -> I give up, I know it's the ADFGVX Cipher but I can't subject it right. Sorry mate, tried my best ^-^

    ya the space between word is nessasary since it is part of the encoding as well...you will not able to decode if i remove the space.

    I suck at grid solving, mind as well find another person to decode this, another half an hour spent still getting nowhere :p

    I'd post one, but I've just finished writing an encryption algorithm, so it would probably be far too hard :p

    well atleast you got the encoding right, its the ADFGX Cipher, now only if you understand how this cipher works, you will able to decode it XD

    And that's where the problem lies ;D

    sir spamalot Well-Known Member

    i thought so - in the original there's no "V" :p

    now to figure out how you mixed this all up - it's probably safe to assume it's just not "ABCD" straight out alphabetical order?

    Thats my conclusion to
     
  16. sir spamalot

    sir spamalot Well-Known Member

    I think the catgirl part is the transposition key. I think it begins as acgilrt but I'm intoxicated and cannot be bothered right now...

    If it's still here tomorrow unsolved I'll try it out!

    :p
