 		Does this message follow the same standard as the previous ones, ie convert and use 5 6 or 7 digit conversions? Or is this a new beast entirely?

 		The mods are still in the fab, and there was no mention of them detecting defective PB848s, so I think they are producing faulty units at 4x speed. Yay! Chaos ensues!

 		Caleb, thanks for solving the code! Worshippy

It is a six-digit VW code, but with a twist.

It begins at 11=a (hence the numbers 11 in VW binary before and after "Fliter Rotation"). Then it uses only 5 numbers at a time, and skips five numbers. 11=a, 12=b, etc, but 21=f. etc. Very confusing! Bang Head

I'll try to post a revised 6-digit solver soon.

-Don

 		Yeah, thanks a lot guys!

Just out of curiosity, how did you figure it out this time Caleb? I was working on the first line and saw the repition of snd erd 6th and 7th letters as well as first and fourth, used a crossword solver and it came up with some silly word acciaccature, it wasn't able to do two words at a time unfortunately.

I wonder what 265 stands for in the title. Thanks for explaining what X5 was!Smile

 		5x5
Caleb beat me by a few minutes last night (well done!) but here is the explanation of the code. The 5x5 is the give away, if you write the alphabet in a 5x5 grid, then indicate a letter by row and column you get:

a=11, b=12, c=13, d=14, e=15, f=21, g=22, ..., y=55 (no z)

which are the numbers you get when you substitute 0,1 for W,V.

I didn't even think of the grid idea. Dunce

BTW: Please don't give me too much credit. Caleb & Stormalong have solved all the codes. I just put the methods in writting.
