"a caterpillar doesn't just grow into a butterfly. a caterpillar must undergo metamorphosis, and a cocoon is where a caterpillar risks it all: enters total chaos, undergoes total rebuilding, and is born to a new way of living. only in taking the risk of entering that inert cocoon can the caterpillar go from dormancy to potency, from ugliness to beauty."

challenge: reveal the hidden message

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."
--E.F. Schumacher


it's meant to be cracked.

hint: it's in english!

top layer: 15 3 26 26 12 8 25 26 25 8 25 12 21 15 26 21 13 25 10 13 10 4 7 7 20 7 21 25 7 10 15 4 15 15 22 13 10 2 7 10 2 10 23 21 1 12 9 2 11 12 13 10 26 18 18 13 12 1 26 25 2 13 16

here's the surefire way to decipher this...
divide and conquer. mark all the up's-and-down's. be number-free. always choose right. be willing to go through all the up's-and-down's. simplicity is key. feel good. share.

the solution guide sounds like unsolicited advice on how to go through life, huh?

pen and paper would be useful, too.

  2. i saw my scratch notebook for 2005 yesterday and when i looked into it, i saw that cipher i made around first week of april 2005. since it's already 2007, i figured it's about time to share it with the rest of the world (hehe, kay rest of the world jud).

  7. dili nako matugkad imo gihunahuna. axiomatic cryptography is relatively easier than the contextual one you posed. or am i just an intelligent fool? hehehe

  8. what? sirit na? ano ba yan?

    another hint: i used the standard arrangement of alphabets.

    the only difference i made? i followed the "surefire way".

    please don't give up yet.
