 		Indeed - the PM got my attention.

I was always partial to the program posted by "firefox" on the second page of the first UF thread for Shuffled:

http://mysite.freeserve.com/Stretham/Solitaire/Cypher.zip

For an easy to use online solver, you can also try this one (don't use spaces):

http://mikesroom.org/shuffled/decoder.cgi

I've tried them and they both work like a champ.

 		Can't believe it's finally been solved!! Great work UKver2.0! Very Happy

And after the 100s of passphrases i had tried myself since getting the card, im not sure i ever used any phrases, mostly single words or names and the like. I must dig out my old java program that i wrote to see if it actually did work, and have a look back over the passphrases i tried

I only found out about this today having drifted away from PXC quite a while ago. Annoyingly enough though, i had come onto UF once or twice in the last few months just to check if there was any progress on the unsolved cards. But i couldn't find the puzzle card forum (as it had been moved to Diversions). But then i didnt really look very hard, just glanced in the PXC forum, where there wasn't anything to be found. I should've just done a search, or gone over to the perplexorum.

ah well, just glad to see it's been squared away. if any of the other unsolveds get done, someone be sure to PM me or else i won't find out til 2009! Laughing


EDIT: just noticed my old signature for this forum below Laughing i can finally stop thinking about Shuffled...but does that mean i shall cease to be?? Wink

 		When you know what the passphrase is part of the original passage/quote makes more sense with the entropy clue, like the 'farewell heat' part of the passage, I think the passphrase was chosen because of the obscurity of the archaic word involved which would have made it difficult to just guess and also that cold is mentioned twice and heat is also mentioned in the passage that leads you to the answer although I still don't see what entropy has to do with it all?

I've just realised too, if you anagram IF ENTROPY WINS you get
FIN(d) POETRY IN WS which may be coincidental, but as WS would help you find the passphrase, maybe not so coincidental after all??

 		Solvers?
Are there any working programmes for trying passcodes in?
They all seem to be defunct Sad
