ok, here's a toughy(atleast i think so)
ok, here is a scheme i think should be hard enough to break.
first i'll just post the crypted string, but you WILL need a hint, so i'll include one at the end.
620344603626-4-1-3-8-5-7-2-6-9
now this is simplified a bit to make it a little easier to see what's going on(the numbers after each "-" should be made to look more randomish, which can be done quite easily)
and here are your hints:
1) the number after each dash indicates a position.
2) this evaluates to a string containing only letter(s) space(s) and period(s), but could easily be extended to include numbers and symbols
as a side note, this is a crypt that myself and some friends in HS thought up on our own, but i bet that the same basis has been used before(and probably quite a bit better).
Utter newbie to this, but it looks fun
Well:

, so it's got to be ascii.

If you pick the xth letter and write them in order defined by the -x numbers, there's always 3 characters left over. Does this tie in with

you will need to do some basic math on the first number(no constants involved really...its not like some stupid "add 359 then divide by 3 and square it" thing)
?
------------
3715217-3-1-2-4 converts to test
1375 remainder 217, which is + in ascii, right?
-------------
620344603626-4-1-3-8-5-7-2-6-9 converts to break me.
360046243 remainder 626, which is r in ascii, right?
Converting the remainder characters to ascii doesn't seem to help. :( :p
