That is as far as I can get....

I stumbled into this, but have no idea how to continue or even if this post is in the correct forum and all. Sorry, haven't been here for a long time and should actually be working now. Wink

Congratulations! You cracked the code. In Opera we believe strongly in curiosity.
We believe that is a big part of what have brought us to where we are today.
To show you that we appreciate your curiosity, we want to award one of the people who have cracked this code.
If you tweet "OperaCodeCracker", you might get lucky. We will pick one of the people who cracks the code
and fly him/her to Norway and show what Opera and Norway is all about.

Hi ShadowBB. Your base 64 converts into ascii and when Rotated13 into the English msg I spoilered.
Didn't post both due to the page being extended and I needed to make breaks. OK?
