BeenHereBefore 1,296 Posted December 12, 2020 I just heard they solved the 2nd Zodiac Killer cipher after 50 years two days ago and you guys can't solve this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted December 12, 2020 12 hours ago, BeenHereBefore said: DH VXUH WR GULQN BRXU RYDOWLQH I just went on a hunch and tried with the 'H' being an 'E' simply guessing because it seemed a safe spot to guess where E's might be most likely. if that missed I would have tried something else until I got one letter that made sense somewhere. Then I thought, if this is a very simple cipher and H is an E, then, it's a +3 across the board.( for instance, E.....F, G, H). So I subtracted 3 from each letter in the alphabet in the cipher and got this: "AE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE" from the code "DH VXUH WR GULQN BRXU RYDOWLQH" Seems like the first letter of the cipher should have been a 'Y' I'm thinking. Or maybe you put this in on purpose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took the first two letters and moved up and down the alphabet looking for a pair of letters four letters apart that formed a two-letter word. Would've worked if I were starting with the right letters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I did mess it up but was drinking at the time so figure I might have. Cipher was inspired by watching Christmas Story again recently. I did mess it up and first code letter should have been E, sorry my bad. Cipher was just the original Cesar where you shift 3 letters to the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, it's like Utilit said except the first letter in the code should have been E (not Y). You were one letter off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
