If you made your own cipher, how is anyone supposed to even start in the first place?

Bro I already solved it just swing me the rep

Because it's not a cipher it's total made up rubbish. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 1,000,000.

Clue 1. It's a number
Clue 2. It's an odd number
Clue 3. It's a integer.

Guess.

Impossible.

You don't understand how Ciphering works do you

My cipher has been cracked on cryptography puzzle site this week.

Also clue 4 added

Btw you were thinking of 3

AntiRepFairy wrote So recently in computer science we have been creating our own ciphers,

Background

When I say just started I don't mean we looked at Ceasers cipher and implemented it, we went threw a lot of the history starting with the enigma code and progressed from there to present day.

The encrypted text

The only clue I'm giving is there are no numeric values

I can give 50 * 20 a day = 1000 rep points = 10 rep power

You will be give 500 the day you crack it, 500 the next day, 25 rep points in between for good attempts and good ole' TTG memes

Good luck!

PM the solution, you may collaborate but the rep will then be shared amongst the collaboration.

Edit One: You have five days, if it isn't solved, the person who I think got closest to the 'pattern' will earn the rep.

You will also show how you did it, there is no point in using google as I didn't use any standard cipher algorithms, I made my own.

After the 5 days I will also post the code that encrypted the text along with the decrypted text.

Clue #2 This is a word that is in the Oxford English Dictionary

Clue #3 "Everyday I'm shuffling

Clue #4 The algorithm forces an extra character to be produced when the string is inputted (character not part of the original string)

Look back into ASCII / Binary every ASCII alpha has a binary number

ASCII to binary tables will help you

Also look into common swapping methods

Basic math too

Edit two: Stay tuned in SB all night for hints, a laugh, free rep and memes

So, "The only clue I'm giving is there are no numeric values"
Now, "Basic math too"

Nobody will get it.

Interesting, Im going to have a go at it, I not long done an encryption and decryption program in python for my computer science coursework

You have the weekend ahead, if you're like the rest of us nerdy dudes, with nothing much to do, give it your all

Haha, will give it a few hours over the weekend, Liverpool playing tomorrow so its a pub / beer day, also start my second year on monday , what year you in?
