Also, I think the next one corresponds to twenty_one.

ORZIOT_JIZ
TWENTY_ONE

So I tried using the sequence to make Twenty_two but no worky.

It's a basic caesar cipher, but I can't get it to work properly :/

It is. It *should* be orziot_ybt? Correct?

And it's not working either

how the heck did you get that?

thats the cipher its using isn't it :confused:

Code:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
vwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstu

you've done it backwards or something :confused:

it should be orziot_orj

I must have tried every possible permutation, and no luck :confused:

nikebee · 13 Jul 2006 at 03:03

i just tried doing the cipher in the opposite direction (moving everything the other way around) and it still wont work

shifting the letter five spaces to the right gives you
ybjsyd_ybt

five to the left gives you
orziot_orj

is the site broke, or is there something we're missing?

edit: i'm giving up
bed for me, 3 am... gotta get up in 5 hours for work

I think I'll have to come back in the morning (or afternoon, seeing as I won't wake up until then anyway.)
It's 4am here, and it's starting to get light outside

[EDIT:]Couldn't resist having one last try with that link.

GOT IT!

It was the fourth one for some reason.
