Anti Elonka email?

Received this early this morning. I don't know if this is from one of the current games or something new. I don't think its from the real Elonka (her email address is different) Smile.

Quote:
MS

I was given your name by a close yet distant friend. It would appear this site might interest you in some way.

Please take a look, and by the way good luck.


20-7-1-12"dash"16-9-6-7-10-20-.-"4"-1-.-18-6-8


AE

I will not email you again

Am I the only one who got this? BTW, the subject was "Can you decrypt?" Also the MS are my correct initials, so whoever sent it, not only knew my email address but my first and last name.

Sorry, I'd thought this was obvious or I would have posted it earlier. The code can be decrypted as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Starting with: 20-7-1-12"dash"16-9-6-7-10-20-.-"4"-1-.-18-6-8

Write a reverse alphabet/number cipher so that A=26, B=25, C=24, ... Y=2, and Z=1. Convert all the above numbers to letters, save the one in quotes. This gives us:

G-T-Z-O"dash"K-R-U-T-Q-G-.-"4"-Z-.-I-U-S

Let's compress it a little, and (confusingly) change the "dash" to a dash and leave the "4" a four.

GTZO-KRUTQG.4Z.IUS

Now chuck that puppy through the ol' ROT converter and note that ROT-20 yields your site.

ANTI-ELONKA.4T.COM



FWIW...now you'll probably understand my spelling comment. Rolling Eyes

Man I must be tired or something. I'm slipping Embarassed I tried both ROT and a reverse alphabet/number, but not both together. I was looking at things that were much more complicated. Guess I gotta remember the simple stuff too Smile

Anti-Elonka code?

I also received an email similar to above.
It was in my "Bulk" spam box Wink
At any rate I have tried to break this code
but have had no success.....

It is called Steamboat.

Anti-elonka:

Looks like the Steamboat code was solved, though
no solution is posted. Sad

New code is Gambit.

Anyone else trying these?

Heh, correct. I've got nothing to do with the 'anti-Elonka' site and didn't find out about it until today. But hell, if posting a $$ award will get codes solved, I'll throw $50 into the pot if someone will go solve Kryptos Part IV.
