The little‑man pyramid shows the shift pattern. The first glyph in the sentence is shifted by 1, the next by 2, the next by 3, and then the pattern repeats: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The task is to work out which glyph corresponds to which letter of the alphabet. The final sentence is a mirror image of it self ...

I have always liked the thought of making my own code. For what reason I don’t have one and I made it on break at work. I believe it would be really hard to break by hand. If a computer got involved and it was a longer text it would be no problem to break. I want some feedback and see if anyone could crack it.

Hint: it is the start of a book I (red) back in school

It is not a secret at all in would be more then happy to explain what it means and how I made it.

Good luck!

In early 2022 I was so deeply immersed in ARGs that I (a traditional artist) felt compelled to make an art piece that was solvable and would have the solver step into my own mind a bit. (an overstatement honestly)

The problem....while I can remember the big pivotal pieces of how to solve this - a ransomware attack at my office left me without my digital answer-key and I have not yet tried to re-crack it from the ground up.

Anyways, I thought the lovely folks here might enjoy a mini sidequest. The puzzle was to be considered "solved" when somebody told me the passkey. I never wound up knowing anybody IRL that would have been interested in this sort of thing though.

I'm not a game designer, and I'm only an "ok" cipher enthusiast, so I don't expect it to blow any minds. But I thought it might finally be enjoyed by somebody all the same.

Coming here from D&D, I'm wanting to find a relatively easy cipher system that ISN'T just a Caesar Cipher. The idea is that they are finding codes written by ancient space civilizations. Are there any good ciphers I could use that don't take 3 years to decode, but aren't just "I see this word has four letters and ends in two of the same, so it might be tree".

in a dnd game I am DM-ing i made this cipher and gave it to the players because I thought it was a fairly common puzzle format, but now I'm concerned it might not be computationally solvable. Is there a way to test this? In case it is important, the colons in line 2 are punctuation, not letters. Can anyone confirm if this has enough information to possibly be solved?

Has gone unanswered for 10+ years.

The clue is "The creative spirit exists all around us. Listen, pause, and like the delicate wind from a butterflies wings, it gives you flight. Weightless and free...you are alive. Let yourself see what is not there and the answers will follow"

Воу

So, in Destroying a World that Doesn't Exist, this book is opened. The guy who opened it remarks about not having seen this code in a while.

I'm new to learning about ciphers, so does anybody know what cipher this is (if it's a cipher at all) and how to decode it?

Good luck solving it.

My friend sent me this puzzle image but I genuinely have no idea how to start. Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Transcript for the image, as best as I can read:

1- jmAwjsm dwEpVs, j=r
2- 3370058190.1+(2536541269 * 20000), 000=0, ?????
3- A to Z is a key
4- glisten

I apologize for step 2, I tried my best but I can't see the numbers very clearly, especially towards the end, so there may be errors.

This is also the link to the image he sent me if the image didn't attach correctly: https://imgur.com/a/gub-made-this-QSore78

I also forgot to mention, the answer is supposed to be 13 characters long, ignoring spaces

I thought this might be base32 to base64 but the online decoders didn't work.

Cipher:

I just realised the one I typed out was wrong T_T (sorry)

quetzalcoatl is correct
