Hey guys, I decided to see if I could fool the CP lounge crowd. Here's a hand encrypted text, no computer algorithms or anything. Let's see how long it takes one of you to decypher it. Try your best and tell me what you come up with. If no one comes up with a solution, I will post it by the end of the business day (central time). Have fun!

well, the original text was, so any thing that's not would be wrong ;) -- Adam "If you can't beat your computer in chess, try kickboxing"

First I had a look at the histogram / character distribution, and it looked fairly English. So I thought it would be some simple row shifting thingy. Split the string into 8-character sub-words and write them as a matrix:
G O N A N N T A E N T T I E P T N E I I N P E I I P N O E E R O U E S N T R S N S R P A Y C P T I C I N N E I A S E R D I N R ENow read the first column from top to down, the second column from top to down, etc. The resulting plain text is: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninetynine percent perspiration tae ... as said by Thomas Edison :) I assume the tae is just for padding. Easy one :-D Dominik
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);and__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, aldo the same... but what do they do?? ;) (doesn't work on NT) -

I'll come up with a harder one for next Tuesday, one that you can really stump yourself on. TAE is of course Thomas Alva Edison.

AD = 1010 1101 that would disable the command bit, right? Turn off the keyboard?
