For my good friend's birthday I'd planned on making him a package with three nostaligic items in it. I got sick, though, and didn't get the things together. So instead I encoded the three items using a cipher, embedded the cipher it in a paragraph, and sent it to him. He hasn't responded yet, and I'm a little worried the cipher/embedding was too difficult to decode. I thought I'd post it here and see if anyone can figure it out. No laughing at the absurdly forced paragraph; I had to work pretty hard to embed the cipher letters into something resembling a coherent phrase.
quote:Who enjoys bingo, war, uno, obsessive uno, DJs, and jedi-ing puzzles of risks? Alvin! Going jedi pleases, and so jump on your not-actual gift (if you can open it). Best.
I also gave three relevant cipher/embedding parameters to help decode the message. I'll post those later if nobody posts and says they get it.

It DOES have that random words spliced together feel to it, doesn't it.
I posted it to a blog that we, and a few other friends, contribute to, along with an explanation similar to the one given here and a few other thoughts.
HINTS: There are three parameters that will make decoding much easier: I/IV/I.
Also, I'll tell you, but I didn't tell him, that there are six words total in the message, two for each of the intended gifts.
