OK, so let's first solve the problem about whether or not this is encryption or decryption, I would like to take the first line
->Your name is Proxxy. You |
Now we start with the first line since the first line is immune to the influences of previous lines. If we took the second line then something from the first line may have carried over to the second which may mess up our results.
As we know, the first letter is part of a 2 letter word.
There are 17 letters leading up to the yellow letter(this is counting the yellow letter itself)
There are 18 characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude spaces
There are 22 characters leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces
There are 19 letters in the whole line
There are 20 characters if we exclude the spaces(this merely includes the period) in the whole line
There are 24 characters if we include the spaces in the whole line
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
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Now following this chart that elephant parade made, Y is 25.
If we shift Y left by an increment of 17, then we get
HIf we shift Y left by an increment of 18, then we get
GIf we shift Y left by an increment of 22, then we get
CSince there is no 2 letter word that begins with
C,
we can remove shifting left based on the number of all of the characters leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces.If we shift Y left by an increment of 19, then we get
FIf we shift Y left by an increment of 20, then we get
EIf we shift Y left by an increment of 24, then we get
AIn this situation, only
A is the letter with a viable 2 letter word.
Therefore shifting left based on the entire character count of the whole line is the only possibility we can gain from the "whole line" experiments.Now let's try shifting right
If we shift Y right by an increment of 19, then we get
RIf we shift Y right by an increment of 20, then we get
SIf we shift Y right by an increment of 24, then we get
WSince there is no 2 letter word that begins with
R, we can
remove shifting right based on the number of all of the letters in the whole line as a possibility for decrypting.If we shift Y right by an increment of 17, then we get
PIf we shift Y right by an increment of 18, then we get
QIf we shift Y right by an increment of 22, then we get
USince there is no 2 letter word that begins with
P,Q or U, we can
remove shifting right based on any factors that involve going beyond the yellow letters.So we are left with 5 options with the first letter:
shift Y left based on the number of letters leading up to the yellow letter to get
Hshift Y left based on the number of characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude spaces to get
Gshift Y left based on the entire character count of the whole line to get
Ashift Y right based on the number characters leading up to the yellow letter if we exclude the spaces to get
Sshift Y shift Y right based on the number characters leading up to the yellow letter if we include the spaces to get
WNow, I need to go to sleep now but I will give you part 2 of the first word tomorrow, I came up with an exciting breakthrough but I don't have the time to write down the explanation behind it. I believe the first word is
GO.
Please tell me how I did in presenting my ideas to you guys, is there anything that isn't clear?
