If that turns out to be the case, it would only be after a PM read this and made it fit in later on Wink

You beat me to this by a narrow margin. I've got some minor corrections, including punctuation. Code follows:

181523-1815726167-19314

Hopefully someone can do something with this...


Hmm, I personally dont see an underscore between 18157241813 and 181523. Not sure.

Anyway, cant work out at all what this jazz means..

I can give you a bit of a solution, and let others solve the rest:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
break up the last line
181523 1815726167 19314 =
18 15 23 - 18 15 7 26 16 7 - 19 3 14 =
TWO-TWELVE-SIX

it's that reversed numbering, shifted

 		That would've taken a while, thanks catherwood! For any interested...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The video message translated according to catherwood's instructions:

7 3 5 4 18 7 7 24
e i g h t e e n

7 3 5 4 18 - 18 15 7 24 18 13 _ 19 3 14 - 6 3 16 7 - 18 15 7 24 18 13 _ 18 15 23 -
e i g h t - t w e n t y _ s i x - f i v e - t w e n t y _ t w o -

18 15 7 24 18 13 _ 18 4 20 7 7
t w e n t y _ t h r e e

18 15 23 - 18 15 7 26 16 7 - 19 3 14
t w o - t w e l v e - s i x

Take those numbers and translate them with the reverse alphabet, no shift and get

I SAVED YOU

 		Can someone explain to me how this was worked out? Still doesn't make any sense even with the shifting.

S is 19 characters, but I certainly isn't 3 and X certainly isn't 14! Can't see any shifting pattern that would make all those work - unless someone can explain why I'm not seeing this for some reason..

Also, welcome to the two 'new' guys who randomly gave us the solution.. Laughing

Certainly beats the hell out of coding interfaces as well.

Have no idea how catherwood figured out the shift, but the basic decode involves two columns, one fixed at 26 counting down, the other with letters. Shifting (and wrapping) the alphabet portion reveals the key.

Code:

a 26 l
b 25 m
c 24 n
d 23 o
e 22 p
f 21 q
g 20 r
h 19 s
i 18 t
j 17 u
k 16 v
l 15 w
m 14 x
n 13 y
o 12 z
p 11 a <- shifted +15 characters
q 10 b
r 9  c
s 8  d
t 7  e
u 6  f
v 5  g
w 4  h
x 3  i
y 2  j
z 1  k


The 3rd column is an example and was devised off of catherwood's decipher of 18 as 'T'

 		HI XtRaVa. Totally saw it after Catherwood explained. Just the last string: 19 3 14 (in reverse alphabet)=six=U (in reverse alphabet code).

And Welocme to uF Faerie_Detective and to clumsyfingers, well done!

 		That's what I'm saying. There were no clues to suggest shifting etc. Catherwood posted as a 'guest'. I don't like that..

You know what I'm getting at..
