Figure out the code: 9/20/2015 12:20:09

So I decided to have some fun and create a code. It follows some sort of pattern, hopefully without being too easy. Seeing as most of the people on here are pretty intelligent, it might not take that long.

(The symbol .0. separates the words)

# \ ( .0. , ] { < % .0. . ; ) " ^ .0. + ) * .0. } ] / ? $ .0. ) ! ( ; .0. # \ ( .0. _ [ - = .0. > ) @

Whoever gets it first can decide if they wanna make their own and continue the thread.

Have fun! :D

This is surprisingly very well done. I am working on it right now.

I ended up with this

# \ (&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;, ] { &lt; %&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;. ; ) &quot; ^&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;+ ) *&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;} ] / ? $&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;) ! ( ;&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;# \ (&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;_ [ - =&#194;&#160;.0.&#194;&#160;&gt; ) @


Then I refined it

# \ (&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;.0.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;, ] { &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; %&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;.0.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;. ; ) &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;quot; ^&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;.0.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;+ ) *&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;.0.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;} ] / ? $&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;.0.&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#194;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#160;) !

And you got it Ben! Nice work. :)

Feel free to make a new one one this thread, for others. If Benjamin doesn't wish to, others can.

Fan - I don't think that will give you an answer, as long as there is no mathematical structure to it.

Here is my process:

1. Look for the most common used word in the english language - "the"

THE.0. , ] { < % .0. . ; ) " ^ .0. + ) * .0. } ] / ? $ .0. ) ! ( ; .0.THE.0. _ [ - = .0. > ) @

2. Look for Adjective/Verb/Noun Patterns

THE.0. , ] { < % .0. . ; ) " ^ .0. + ) * .0. } ] / ? $ .0. ) ! ( ; .0.THE.0. _ [ - = .0. > ) @

THE.0. (ADJ) .0. (ADJ) .0. (NOUN) .0. (VERB) .0. (PREP) .0. THE .0. (ADJ) .0. (OBJ)

3. Guess and Check

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

# \ ( .0. , ] { < % .0. . ; ) " ^ .0. + ) * .0. } ] / ? $ .0. ) ! ( ; .0. # \ ( .0. _ [ - = .0. > ) @

Python script that I used for scrambling. Input assumed to be all lower-case, no numbers, no punctuation.


from random import shuffle

def cipher(string):
    chars = [chr(i) for i in range(33,48)] + [chr(i) for i in range(59,65)] + \
        [chr(i) for i in range(91,96)] + [chr(i) for i in range(123,127)]
    chars.remove('"')
    chars.remove("'")
    chars.remove('.')
    chars.remove('\')
    shuffle(chars)

    letters = [chr(i) for i in range(97, 97+25)]
    cipher = {pair[0]:pair[1] for pair in zip(letters, chars)}

    cipher_string = string
    for letter in cipher:
        cipher_string = cipher_string.replace(letter, cipher[letter])
    cipher_string = cipher_string.replace(' ', ' .0. ')
    return cipher_string

Hint: the third word is not "the"

I will not solve because Teddy and I are the only ones to solve :P I already know the answer.
