Grace has an Oz museum update. She got "hellograce.wmv ". There's a hidden msg to photoshop at the end. Here's what I posted to her & nice bashin' punxtr! Smile

That's a line from the Paul Simon song 'Graceland' so maybe that's your next stop? http://www.elvis.com/graceland/

Makes sense to me seeing as her name is Grace and the Jester believes her next destination is someplace he thinks she will like.

Dia, I'm trying, but I can't make heads or tails of that code. I need like a crash course in ciphers/cryptograms that isn't greek to me. lol.

My neighbor (who's playing but hasn't posted here yet) found this site,
http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/baconian.php
Where inputting that code decodes to N O W

but I don't know if that's worth anything or not.

Well, I searched NOW and got:

http://www.now.org/

I'm not sure that could be an answer. Most have been a coded riddle of some sort...

I can derive all numbers except 1.25 using the method I've found so far. The method seems close to the solution, for sure.

That's why N O W didn't make any sense to me whatsoever. I'm sorry I'm not of more help. I feel totally useless when it comes to decrypting.

The other substitutions I could track albeit with a big cup of wake-up java. This one befuddles me. Also, Mummer's Farce has some interesting answers.
Coffee Never like to muddy the waters about a maths code I'm not seeing yet have got a question: Is it possible this one has an add'nl cipher/twist inside the riddle?

Can't come up with anything better. I don't even know of a number cipher that would accept all of these numbers

You can find many of the used numbers by dividing squared numbers 1 through 9, until you reach halved values with a remainder of 0.25.

amandel! amandel!

Someday I may learn to do such wonderful things.

Audacity?

As for the "math" riddle, a great big IDK.

Thanks P. Thought it was some sort of modular systen *LM chortling is heard thru the ether* Laughing HI Booba!! Photoshopped the visual & agree Audacity clues are fun.

punxter- I see what you were getting at, 1.25 doesn't fit. Think it's a typo for 12.25?

beginning with

.5 squared =.25 x2 = .50

4.5 squared = 20.25 x2 =40.5

ending with

12 squared = 144 /2 =72

the numbers are squares in .5 intervals, or double or one half of a square

ETA 6 squared (not used) = 36 x 2 =72

Have no ideal what that could possible mean, except that it would be kind of orderly.
except for 1.25

I did no such thing...not so much as a snicker.

I have pretty much the same observations as the rest of you. I was hesitant to post about it so as not to take people down the wrong path with me. However with time running out here goes...

Each number either is a perfect square or can be made one by multiplying by an integer. Even 1.25 (which bothers me too) can be made into the perfect square 25 when multiplied by 20. I've tried taking the square root of each perfect square and changing those to their letter equivalent...nothing. I've tried taking those letters as it's own code and deciphering it using other methods...nothing. I've tried incorporating the multiplier used to get to the perfect square in various ways...nothing.

Nothing I've tried has led me anywhere useful. So either the perfect squares are a coincidence and we need to look at this differently OR we are on the right track and need to go a little further OR Jester came up with a nonsense code that can't be solved so he can punish Derek for our "incompetence".
