Help with code

Wossi · 23 Aug 2006 at 17:36

I have a code (I think) but can't translate it. It's not morse as there are no dashes only dots and it's not braille. Can someone out there help please and let me know where to start looking?

Don't want to put up the code but it's all dots.

I think you'll have to give a little more context.

RandomTom · 23 Aug 2006 at 17:42

what type of code? :confused:

google for a morse code alphabet thing, or just try 'dot code' or something, to translate each letter.

post a sample!

Be very careful - you could have religious nuts trying to kill you.

I think what you are looking at, is a piece of paper that is covered in.... tiny ant footprints.

But seriously, you're best posting a small example, amybe someone can make sense of it for you

You really aren’t giving us much to go on. Do the dots vary in size? Are they in groups? How far apart are they from one another? do they seem to form a pattern? I think its best if you just post a sample.

Yeah, we'll help you decode something for you that we can't see. No problem.

I think it’s a dirty letter from his cryptographer of a partner; hence his reluctance!

See! Look what happens when you leave things open to interpretation you dirty sod.

It's a phone number

Thanks to the detective work of White Cleats, it looks like we've broken the code to Michael Scofield's (Wentworth Miller) secret message hidden in Sara's (Sarah Wayne Callies) origami swam. It's similar to a type of encryption called substitution cipher -- each dot series represents a number. Once they're written out as such, if you add them in a column you get 9755867655, aka (975) 586-7655. RING, RING! "Hello, Wentworth?"

White Cleats adds, "Earlier in the season premiere episode, we were shown an itemized print out of Michael's credit cards bills, which listed an answering service; I'm fairly certain that's the number with which to call it." And Bingo was his name-o! If you missed Monday's Prison Break season premiere, watch it below!

Edited to prove that I posted this first.

Me? Stealing posts? The very notion :eyes-wide-in-shock:

exactly what i've been saying. Oh and btw, it's code for: SNAKES ON A PLANE!!

Is it ticker tape?

Using my great analytical brain and all of my decoding skills I have deduced that it is actually a toaster.

OK, you want us to help you decipher a code but cant (or wont) give any details about it whatsoever. I'd take a guess at it being binary?

OK....I nominate this today's dumbest thread (which by GD's standards is pretty darned dumb)
