I have to assume it is in English. I also have to assume you want it cracked so not some kind of book key/one time pad, and probably not even a cyclic substitution (one letter this, the next letter that, the next this again, the next that again). Does not look like a shuffle ( http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/cmabridge/ , even though I kind of suck at those). I am too lazy right now to hack you (read, read your post history) to see if you like certain crime shows (loads of people I know that saw the wire use the thing in that for certain purposes), computers (if you looked like you were on IRC or message boards earlier in life then http://www.rot13.com/ would be it, though "Male, 22" would downplay the chances of that a tiny bit), though the once nice computer in your signature and that you are posting this thread makes me wonder a bit.


Time for the message then

Words reasonably long but still within reason. Spaces kept so presumably some kind of substitution cypher, though possibly varying between words.

Started with a capital as well so presumably a language/keyboard based one rather than a hexadecimal based one.

For words of that length then they are unlikely to have no vowels (or a y acting as one) so each will have to feature a vowel (aeiou). However I do not want to rule out you adding garbage in words, nothing pops out at me but same as the shuffle thing I do not do well. Does not appear to be a phonetic type thing either.

The y is interesting but RSET and O are common and D is not much worse.

, and ; in the middle of words for no reason, possibly then a keyboard based substitution (shuffle one right or down or diagonal on a keyboard, which would also do well for ; and ,). It should not be a problem in this instance but your flag says Canada so I will assume a Canadian layout (UK keyboard in case you had never seen one http://www.goodtyping.com/teclatUKok.png ) for the keyboard stuff. I probably should look up to see if Canada uses azerty (or the French speaking part does) but I am too lazy at this point. The presence of a in the third word does complicate this though. I have no fancy keyboard shuffling website to do it for me so not wasting my time means I should look at the ones with punctuation in.

One left to correct the right hand shuffle
kluijkwe which is meaningless.
one up to sort a down
opmioxc (not sure what to handle certain things as but the various combinations did not get far).

No repeating characters ( http://www.panopy.com/iphone/secret-ada/double-letter-words.html ) I could use to help a substitution cypher crack.

So garbage between letters then.

If I had to guess you just shuffled your hands around the keyboard in a fairly natural manner (nothing from the middle of the keyboard or top row on the left) and we never taught or do not practice "home keys".

To continue the game I propose something that you should never double encrypt with the same algorithm

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
