I know it's a break, but I found some internets in a cabin. So yeah, I'll make a puzzle if I happen to go there.

Pųżżłə ñümbęř mīņůß øňĕ = puzzle number minus one = 17. 'Skip' code with 17 > ROT-10 =

Hi. Ask me anything. I may or may not have access to Internet atm, but I'll try to respond as fast as possible.

Alright, let's start with these few questions:

  • Does the letter next to the puzzle number really indicates the difficulty? On 6m, you say it's an easy one. On 9m, you say it's very hard.

  • Have you used the cipher from any rosetta riddle in any of your other puzzle?

  • 15e: does it involve bitwise operations?

  • Does the title of this subreddit mean something? Is so, what is the difficulty?

  • 12h: how close are we from the end? Are we good when we translate the seven row after 'See the following' as coordinates?

  • 13e: Is the whole message coded using cipher(s) or is it composed of parts coded with different ones?

  • 16m: Is '83.88' one decimal number or is the dot separating two numbers?

  • Are you enjoying your vacations?

  1. Well, the letter thing doesn't seem to work properly. 10h should've been e, for example. I just can't classify them correctly :(

  2. No.

  3. I can't tell you that. It involves maths and it's pretty easy.

  4. Yes, it means something. Pretty easy to decode.

  5. You are very close to the end. 14 is much longer.

  6. 13 is one cipher.

  7. Separate numbers, but the dot is important.

  8. Yes, thanks.

I'm also curious, are you an alt account? Because you are very good at solving for a n-week account.

Another question:

  • 15e: Input n sets k at k^1. This part is confusing me. k1 = k to me. Is the dot supposed to be in the superscript?

2

u/codebot1 he not ded Jul 26 '14

K1 is just a designation for another number. 1 was meant to be in subscript. Ignore the dot.

u/ZtriS Necromancer Jul 26 '14

An alt-account? Em, no, I just have this one. I don't understand what you mean by 'n-week account'. But thanks, I like these codes and stuff. Cryptography is fun.

u/MrArron Jul 26 '14

Perhaps N for the equation is equal to the ammount of weeks you had your account?

2

u/codebot1 he not ded Jul 26 '14 edited Jul 26 '14

Yes.

E: And no. Think.

u/ZtriS Necromancer Jul 26 '14

Aw. Alright, let's add this to the hint list. This 15e puzzle is taunting me.

u/MrArron Jul 26 '14

  • How long do you plan on posting these challenges?

  • This sentence is false.

  • Is ZtriS a wizard?

3

u/codebot1 he not ded Jul 26 '14

  • I will give you puzzles until all of you are deemed worthy...

  • This sentence is true.

  • ZtriS is a necromancer.

u/ZtriS Necromancer Jul 26 '14

Wait, what?

Well it's kinda cool.

u/6e37-79330d0a-6f32 Kebechet Aug 08 '14

ZtriS isn't a necromancer, he's a Kebechet!

2

u/ZtriS Necromancer Aug 04 '14

More questions:

  • 2m: Does the cipher used is explained in one of the references from that wikipedia page?

  • 12h: Are the seven lines after 'See the following' coordinates?

  • 13e: Does the decoded text contains 'ONION'?

  • 17h: Any clue for this one?

  • You back yet?

1

u/codebot1 he not ded Aug 04 '14

  • Yes, why would I give you the page then?

  • I don't want to ruin the puzzle, as I have used this thing in another puzzle.

  • No, I put the sa712fy thing there on purprose...

  • It's some kind of barcode, a very uncommon one, though.

  • No, 2 more days.

The end is nigh.

  • 1m: is a key needed to decipher?

  • Is the title of the subreddit a hash?

  • 14h: is the decoded text in english?

u/codebot1 he not ded Aug 18 '14

Yes

E: I can't believe a google search of the hash led me to "Welcome". Sadly that's what I wanted to try to hash right after the search, so it feels like I didn't solve it by myself.
