Game: Decrypt this!

[Reply #480 on:]

[edit]TOTP Repost[/edit]
 

Arkan's Cryptogram:
EH? ZO? GYE? WCIH?

Next to impossible, heh. Unless someone just recognizes the pattern from the quote.    As a rule, longer=easier (thought too long = tedious. Unless you use my handy tool!).

That pattern seems vaguely familiar, I think it might've been something Leela said but I cant remember ATM what or when. If I'm right, the professor responded with something condescending. Damned fuzzy analog memory!

and since it's the TOTP, The link to that handy tool again! It encrypts quotes, but can also help you decrypt them by replacing letters for you.

aah, man. and i thought i was pretty good at these cryptothings.
also thanks for welcoming aboard gropher! :P

[Reply #482 on:]

A quote like that is very tough unless you can recognize it immediately.  Unforunetly, I haven't been watching much Futurama lately, so I'm a bit rusty.  However, it does appear to be a Farnsworth or maybe even a Fry quote.  Something along the lines of Wha?  Huh?  Uh?  Um?  You know, one of those confusion lines.  Perhaps adding the speakers name or the next line would brighten up this crpytogram.

[Reply #483 on:]

Aaaha! Got it! This has been bugging me all day, but it finally clicked for me.

Show spoiler

I kept thinking it was had a "Me? You?" something, but I couldn't remember exactly where the line was. Finally it just came to me..
Leela: "Us? Me? You? Kids?"
At least, that FITS. There may well be other lines that fit that pattern too, which is another prob. with ultra-short quotes.

New rule: Nothing with less than 10 words, or 8 words if it is from a major character and their name is given.

Gopher as for your signature.  I had most of it myself, but a few letters I had to look up to remember (I,P,O).  I see what you put in, but it makes little sense to me.

Is it a ship's name?

[Reply #485 on:]

Yes, it's the name of my ship. Made the sig after I became a starship captain a couple of weeks ago.   

[Reply #486 on:]

Heehee, sorry Gopher, I had a feeling that would be tricky  . But oh well, that's a good thing, right? Everyone loves a challenge!

I tried the new one but I can't make any sense of it yet. I'll work on it...

I have solved everything except that one word and I tried all possible fits using the remaining letters.  What the heck is the quote?  Did you mistype it?  I can only vaguely remember that quote, but I don't remember that one word.

[Reply #511 on:]

I don't think I made a mistake... I just copied and pasted it from TNP. Let's see...

You were right when you tried it starting with c. Also, you've worked out that J=l in 'industrialist', but you haven't filled in the 'J's in that last word as 'l's. Now, who's everyone's favourite robot actor, who has had countless deaths?
