A new file up on drop.io: seems to be a nursery rhyme. Possibly encrypted?

Really the insoluble riddle is: How many times did I type and prolly misspell "Pythagorean Theorem" into the .rar p/w box when anyone normal could see the comma after 1558 suggested another number? Wink

@jalava: Nice work on the Kasiki examination of that. I got the vigenere cypher but I still can't do Kasiki properly.

Where does this leave us now? Its not a key word for the Mashimisho web site and I can't find any link to a Mashi Desk.

Yay for Brownies MMMMmm

hey guys! I'm new to this and trying to catch up.

jalava, I also decoded the datamatrix and got the same result... has that led anywhere? I do recall that after entering it as a password to the username found as a result of the cypher and Puzzle. appeared under the login box temporarily but nothing besides that :-/

The datamatrix has three parts, first CIPH:VIN was about vinegere cipher in text. However, the rest of the message has left me pondering.

My best guess is that it's really just an easier way to get the key to the cipher (2^9=512) but perhaps not.
