I absolutely don't have the slightest idea what to do with that bunch of letters...

If nobody else decrypts it, maybe you would be so kind and give me a clue?

[Reply #606 on:]

Heheh, sure, just give it another day or so.

I agree with laptopmoerder.  After a few tries, I found out that the first word isn't "M'lady".  I'll go for a hint now.  Don't make it too obvious though, just one or two letters.

[Reply #608 on:]

OK, how about:

B=I
D=E

There, that should make it a bit easier...

[Reply #609 on:]

That was a tough one, good job Arkan.

Y'know, I heard that banking industry regulations are really very simple.

Sorry  everyone, but Xanfor and I have a very nicely "you can't decode my binary message"-game we moved here because it's at least a little bit OnT here...

   

Originally posted by Xanfor:

Oh, come on! You haven't tried yet :-)
Have you already figured out how many bits per word the code MUST have (hint: less than 8, but constant)?
Maybe you'd then like to find out on which media codes with that number of bits were mainly used (hint: the code I used was the second major one for that media)?

If I'm in a good mood tomorrow, I'll help you further on if my hints didn't help you...
edit: just that we're clear about the term 'word': I mean a binary word, so a group of bits that make up a SINGLE character or control code (a word with 8 bits would be called a byte)

To stay OnT:

And you, my faithful fiend! How can I ever repay you?

If anyone else wants to post a puzzle, just go ahead, I'm too tired today to think of something good!

OK, Xanfor, I'm lifting the veil...

The code is a 5-bit-Code. This particular code is known as ITA2 or CCITT2 and was used mainly for telegraphy and on punched tape (TTY, Telex, etc.). As it has only 5 bits, there's two 'character sets' which can be choosen by certain control codes. Just search Wikipedia for ITA2...
 
The message decodes as: "with my last words i curse you, xanfor!" (again: Don't take it seriously :-))

And, btw: the 'really mean stuff' I removed was more code set switching, as some variations of this code allow the blank space character to be a certain character of the NUMS set.  But then I decided to used the 'standard' standard code :-)

Well, maybe you could come up with some coded stuff if you like? (Please, only things where there's a SINGLE possible solution)

I added the speaker's name... (one of the main characters)

[edit]
xanfor: What's so evil about a 5-bit code? they're fairly common for plain-text encoding routines; an 8-bit representation has too much non-random data, since only a small number of the possible permutations are meaningful. The first step in almost any good encryption routine is representing the data in the most compact way possible. For english this means no punctuation, capitals, or numerals, just the 26 letters. Least bits to express 26 values is 5.
