    Check the website to see if there are any more clues, the next one should be in 2 days...

    All I need to really do is figure out how to change the lines into numbers and from there figure out which letters are what numbers.

    I have some of the text to the lines, but doubt I'd really get that much done... I'll see if I can crack it after homework tonight...

    In response to the thread title: YES I CAN!


    After I got it figured out, and I started working on it... ||----||--||-|-||-------|-|-|-||---||--||||||-------|-|--|-|||--||-|-- gave it up...

    Maybe you should have posted hidden for other people who are working on this, but I'll help.

    First, you will need to find some patterns between your encrypted (lines) and decrypted values (text from Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot). The punctuation will help you greatly. For example, since you've already found which line it came from, the second sentance has the word "in" both starting a sentance and right after a comma. Find which characters/numbers match after the sentance, and you will find the code for the word "in". Next comes "our," in both the first and second sentance. You will need to make some guesses while finding "in" and "our" as to what word is in the distance between them, and then start saying something like "this letter" is "this digit (or two, or three digits." It took me a long time, but after some guesses and finding that out, the entire sentance comes together and you will know what numbers equal which letter. Reread the official clues once more, and there may be an overlooked hint for finding out which digits equal which letter. (...common letters = ...)

    Hope this can set you on the right track. It is a lot of guess work and trying, but the message at the end is worth it, IMHO. (Don't post the message either when you get it )



    And for everyone else who reads this hidden post and isn't even considering solving it...your loss

    What a bunch a WIMPS!!!!!

    It is not that hard and I gave you more clues that the main site did
    I handed it to you on a silver platter.

    I guess there are not that many code breakers in the world....
    especially here at Antionline!!!

    The shame of it all!!

    just so you know i had a long boring meeting today so i decided to pass the time with the code. You are right the message is cute but a bit expected.

    any way it was fun

    Wink Right On

    Good for you....
    I was wondering if all of the Antionline users were WIMPS!!!

    Now to figure out how to prove you got the certificate....
    Maybe a Pic of you holding the Certificate

    Well, a screen capture with your Antionline Alias in the Certificate????


    Lets see if others come up with the Certificate
