I never published it, but I bet you can find and solve it. If you do, you get double points lol.

| woah this is going to take ages.. i managed to get the first 4 words but they dont make much sense (they are words though not just random letters) but i can't find the word for the 5th number zzz..=.= |

If you tell me what you got in a private message, I will let you know if you're on the right track or not.

| I'm completely stuck, I don't get the 2nd hint, neither did I find any use for the 3rd one. :( |

| Does this count as cryptography? I mean, the coding involved... not strenuous... (trying to give nothing away...) |

Cryptography is the theory of secret writings using a key. I have written something secret here, using the key you probably have figured out using the hints. Granted it takes less work to solve than most of my other challenges. I have intentionally made a couple of easy ones lately, because I want them to be accessible to many young people. If you want a hard one, try some of the earlier ones. It looks to me that you've not solved a single one of those.

I have some words I'm not sure about but I think I got the right answer. It was hard to found the "private key" to decrypt it and I got an incomplete one :/. |

| this is evil... I think I've got it but it's taken me a few hours now just to see if I'm right or not :( |

This is not evil. It is a very easy Cryptography Challenge, compared to #1-37.

my God. I was making this WAY more complicated than it is... Fibonacci sequences and Pascal's Triangle and such... Still, this took me two hours. I worked SO hard trying to find the EXACT "key" online if you also solved it, you know what I mean by "key"... ahem*  "key" = "dictionary" lol oops was that too big of a hint?OH, and I still haven't found Cryptography Challenge #36! yet... if it hasn't been published, how do I find it?  I already tried the URLs in between #35 and #37... (note, #35 is thread 23502 and #37 is thread 23571) |

Re: Cryptography Challenge #38!

| And I have no clue of any of this. I love it. But regardless I don't even know where to start. |

i am absolutely fascinated by this. however, i am also absolutely clueless on how to solve this. id love to know how everything works together; code, keys... lol |

Hi Gendou, you are correct in saying I have never completed one of your past cryptography challenges, not on time at least. I am not a highly active member of your community, merely somebody who peruses your site weekly. I do enjoy all the content you provide, and in fact have completed quite a few of your past cryptography challenges, in my own spare time. I definitely never come on the website frequently enough to catch the top 10, but your catalogue of puzzles makes for a great puzzle book of sorts. Maybe you could publish a collected work, maybe invent some fun back story for each. I have a book at my permanent residence, something to the tune of Dr. Enzo's Cryptography Puzzles (can't remember the full title), in which a professor and his studious niece solve mathematical problems for a host of interesting characters, but they never reveal the answer, making the reader solve it. Maybe you have read this book, and maybe you might do something similar. |

| Found the book, it's called Dr. Ecco's Cyberpuzzles, by Dennis E. Shasha. I recommend it. |

| mm hint one. each set of numbers is a word. A=0 is understandable too. however i don't understand the rest of the hints. i've never done anything like this before. its fascinating. xp i wish to understand it, but i don't get much of it right now. |
