[CLOSED]Anagrams

[BohPian]

First of all, an anagram is an re-arrangement of letters of a word / name into another phrase of word.

Example, an anagram for THE MONA LISA might be AH! NOT A SMILE?

Anyone wants to guess want these particular anagram stands for?

NAG IN ALL

let's give this code breaking a try...
not quite an anagram, but it's code breaking...

[LiLiaN]

Anyway, one bright spark in the sky says:

LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES?
excellent! see.. not so bad right...
(clap clap clap clap clap clap clap)

[LiLiaN]

now, that was a caeser box type of code..
wanna try a caeser shift code..?

GXRE XP HECSQMRVG

it is simply a movie title... an award-winning movie...
you need a key code, and it can be found within my custom title...

[BohPian]

now, that was a caeser box type of code..
wanna try a caeser shift code..?

GXRE XP HECSQMRVG

it is simply a movie title... an award-winning movie...
you need a key code, and it can be found within my custom title...

Please explain shift code.....you mean A->B, B->C :confused:

[LiLiaN]

Please explain shift code.....you mean A->B, B->C :confused:
yes, but it didn't just shift from A->B, B->C...
the key code help to know how it was shifted..

e.g. if keycode is JULIUS CAESAR, the then shift is as follows:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
J U L I S C A E R B D F G H K M N O P Q T V W X Y Z

this type of shift is rather obvious once the code is know...
stick in the key, then type in all letters not involved in key...
so one way to confuse people further is by not type letter in order from beginning...
instead, it continues from the last letter in the key code... i.e. as follows:

J U L I S C A E R T V W X Y Z B D F G H K M N O P Q

i've used the simple version shift...
now all you need is break the key code...

[BohPian]

Intellectually stimulating :D

Tried all the keycodes from Lilian, Moulin, Paroles, Slave, and nothing worked!

Finally, I think I found the keyword, which is the translated English word for Paroles.

Keycode: CHATTERBOX?

Answer: LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL?

[BohPian]

Lilian, how did you learn about shift code? Dan Brown's books?

Are there any other interesting encoding methods you could share?

[LiLiaN]

Intellectually stimulating :D

wow... can "bai" you as "see fu" already!
you are not working for NSA or something, are you..?? :D

hmm... can understand testing lilian, moulin, paroles but slave..?
you got the right keycode, hence you broke the code.. congrats!!

[BohPian]

Alk, you sure you took your medicine this morning? What you toking about???

[BohPian]

Bravo Maestro.

Now try this :

Anyone who is able to slove this is the real champion.

Are we still on the same category?

This one needs all the clue we can get.

[Alkapocino]

Sorry, wrong medicine this morning.

Try this:

Persecute the sedate administration off


hint: very powerful man

[KoChun]

I wonder if there is an answer to Alk's anagram.

[Alkapocino]

Are we still on the same category?

This one needs all the clue we can get.
The clue is in the anagram itself. :)

[Alkapocino]

I wonder if there is an answer to Alk's anagram.
U give up on this...hahaha.

That's why I said the one who solve the anagram above is the true champion. Hehehe.

[BohPian]

While, you're working on ALK "mission impossible", can I throw in another one?

This is another one of Caeser's shift code Lilian introduced (refer to earlier pages for details).

LDSF FJBNAU

Hint: DC comics character

You need a keycode: she's very avid forumer.

[KoChun]

BohPian, till now, me still no understand what those shift codes all about. Unable to participate for now. Meanwhile, I will try to solve this 'Mission Impossible'. :)

[KoChun]

Enough for today, guys. Later cannot sleep tonight.

[Alkapocino]

Could it possibly be

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
Crown you the anagram King. KoChun the Emperor!! :D

[Alkapocino]

Guess who is the lass

Anagram: "Anti-men tirade noise, lass."


Hint: She plays quitar too

[BohPian]

While waiting for Alk's answer, let me explain Caeser's shift code:

1. Start with a keycode. Example, let's assume the keycode is
KOCHUN

2. Eliminate any duplicate letters from the keycode. Since, there are no
duplicate letters, keycode is still KOCHUN

3. Append all the missing alphabets from the keycode to the end of the
keycode. It becomes KOCHUNBDEFGIJLMPQRSTVWXYZ

4. Finally use this keycode in a translation table
K -> A
O -> B
C -> C
H -> D
U -> E
.
.
Z -> Z

5. Solve the encrpyted message with the translation table
KPPLU -> APPLE

[Alkapocino]

HappyGhost Help!!

[siewjang]

4. Finally use this keycode in a translation table
K -> A
O -> B
C -> C
H -> D
U -> E
.
.
Z -> Z

5. Solve the encrpyted message with the translation table
KPPLU -> APPLE
How come i got APPOE instead of APPLE???? tsk, tsk

[BohPian]

How come i got APPOE instead of APPLE???? tsk, tsk

Probably my mistake. I think you've got the idea. :D

Anyway, following the example, this is the
complete translation table:

KOCHUNBDEFGIJLMPQRSTVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ

Thus, OMY -> BOY

[siewjang]

Keycode: CHATTERBOX?

Answer: LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL?
How does a keycode help? don't understand.

[ausman]

How come i got APPOE instead of APPLE???? tsk, tsk
p :eek:

[BohPian]

How does a keycode help? don't understand.

You need the keycode to form the translation table so that you can translate the coded message.

Without the correct keycode, there is no way to translate a coded message into its proper message.

In other words, to break the coded message, you need to figure out the keycode. That is the challenge. Then follow the steps I've shown earlier.

[siewjang]

*#@*#@$ this is getting harder.

[BohPian]

While, you're working on ALK "mission impossible", can I throw in another one?

This is another one of Caeser's shift code Lilian introduced (refer to earlier pages for details).

LDSF FJBNAU

Hint: DC comics character

You need a keycode: she's very avid forumer.

Sigh, let me guide you along.

1. Keycode: HIJACKQUEEN

2. Remove duplicate letters: HIJACKQUEN

3. Append missing alphabets: HIJACKQUENBDFGLMOPRSTVWXYZ

4. Form translation table:

HIJACKQUENBDFGLMOPRSTVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

5. Now, solve coded message: AHPB BGEQUS

Can you do the last step here?

[siewjang]

While, you're working on ALK "mission impossible", can I throw in another one?

This is another one of Caeser's shift code Lilian introduced (refer to earlier pages for details).

LDSF FJBNAU

Hint: DC comics character

Dark Knight?

[siewjang]

5. Now, solve coded message: AHPB BGEQUS

Where does this code come from?tsk, tsk

[kamkuey]

DARK KNIGHT

Cool!!!!

Bohpian.. your explanation enough liao.. clear enuf..

[BohPian]

Dark Knight?

Hip hip hooray! Dark Knight is the answer!

So, out of these 4 steps:

1. Keycode: HIJACKQUEEN

2. Remove duplicate letters: HIJACKQUEN

3. Append missing alphabets: HIJACKQUENBDFGLMOPRSTVWXYZ

4. Form translation table:

The real challenge is figuring out what the keycode is. The remaining steps
are straight-forward. You need a hint to find out the keycode.

That is why the hint was "she is avid forumer". :D

[KoChun]

BohPian, was pretty busy in the afternoon. Thanks for the explanation, got it, I think. Will be back to solve more mysteries.

[BohPian]

Now, for the ultimate challenge.

Hi LiLian, welcome back. What's the answer?

[LiLiaN]

by the way, should use complex caesar shift, simple shift comes to the end too similar to actual code... not much fun... ;)

[LiLiaN]

Hi LiLian, welcome back. What's the answer?
hehe... actually, paiseh, i didn't finish reading all the threads, and was at the part where i last left off... so i was referring to earlier code that has been broken... :p

just realise it now after i post and suddenly, eh, my post why so far up from the question??! am working on this right now... :D

[BohPian]

by the way, should use complex caesar shift, simple shift comes to the end too similar to actual code... not much fun... ;)

You have no idea how difficult it was just to explain the simple shift method.

No strands of hair left on my head :D

Lilian, to solve anagrams, you have to relax your mind. Free your mind and sometimes the answers will just pop up. Try it.

[JC]

Free your mind and the rest will follow - En Vogue

most of the time, misheard as: Free your mind and your ass will follow :D

Thread Moved from 1996 to General Chat

[LiLiaN]

now, here's my chance to challenge you guys (esp BohPian and KoChun)...hehe...

the anagram:
Bold art in oils, etc.

the clue:
famous painter

use his surname as the keycode to break this:
HOEEMTML OMHZB NNHMKT

clue to the shift:
where you can find his paintings

note about the shift:
it is not a caesar shift, it is a vegenere shift

Happy Solving! ;)

[LiLiaN]

Wei LiLian, you just caused me to lose my sleep. How to go to bed with all these codes swirling in my head :D

Anyway,

1. This is relatively easy, painter is Sandro Botticelli

2. Keycode is Botticelli

3. This part level of difficulty is 9.5/10! No clues on what vegenere cipher is!
Anyway, after some research on the net, I came up with a funny answer:

Translation table:

BOTTICEL LIBOT TICELL
HOEEMTML OMHZB NNHMKT

Answer:

galleria degli uffizi ?

[LiLiaN]

that's excellent work! and yes, that's how vegenere shift work...
it's like a caeser shift, just using keycode in different single shift lines...
and on the extra, for any art lover, once you get botticelli...
the uffizi answer is easy to get, even without cracking the code...

i'll go home tonight... if got time, will type out the codes in simon singh's book...
i've just got that book recently and finished reading it not so long ago either..
haven't got a chance to crack his codes, so you can help!! :)

now, go and have a sweet dream... :D

[KoChun]

I am getting bald.

[LiLiaN]

I am getting bald.
it's ok, men getting bald = high testosterone level... can be beneficial... :D
(never mind ler... hair grow back very quickly one....)

[BohPian]

I am getting bald.

Hah Hah, at least you still have some hair.

Wait until you see my wrinkles :D

Anyway, I found this wonderful site which explain the vinegere cipher.
The guy who created it must be a genius because it is so simple yet hard to crack.

it was belaso who created it based on caesar's shift, but after he died, it was left to puzzle people for years until vigenere rediscover it... hence the attributiong to vigenere...

[LiLiaN]

cryptography can be really interesting... and mind boggling at the same time...
afterall, you lost sleep, kochun lost hair.... but i gain weight (eat while decipher!)... :D

[KoChun]

afterall, you lost sleep, kochun lost hair.... but i gain weight (eat while decipher!)... :D

In conclusion, you gain some, you lost some? :)

[LiLiaN]
