Code Breaking ?

[TheRoss0411]

Can anyone help with this code breaking challenge

We are meant to find the 19th word

Thanks

I've one question, is , for example, "Iawdk" a word,or are they just mixed together?

No idea, we have a clue "Maybe it isn't encrypted at all, and the letters just need to be written out differently", mused Ellie. "How long is the message?

Perhaps that will get us started."

Oh boy...what kind of sick game is this?

it's a joke, i threw it to you, but you didn't get it

[TheRoss0411]

Oh boy...

Yeah, we think it has something to with prime numbers and the length of it is a prime number, 109

[Ciccioo]

can we have this in a txt version? like being able to copypaste it?

and how do you know that it's 109 characters long? is that a given hint?

Ignore that, we were wrong.

where did you get this problem from? should we search the answer in a numerical or computer-related way?

It's from the alan turning cryptography competition

very cool

 

the only thing i noticed is that the code is 493 characters long

493=17*29

so i wrote it down in 29 column and 17 rows, i tried also 17 columns and 29 rows (as it needs to be "written out differently"), and tried reading it vertically, but nope

it is 99 words long, if that helps. ^^

you should of stated this is the alan turing cryptography competition you have to follow the chapters to get it.

[Ciccioo]

arghhhh

[Jogostar]

arghhhh

what is it wrong`? ^^

and 19 is a prime number. you need to find the 19th word.

and 19 is a prime number. you need to find the 19th word.

but every word should be possible to decode, or the message would be lost, so how can that 19 be important? it's prime tho, but hey the good 'ol barquith loves primes

i think i won't sleep tonight

its a enigma cypher you need to know the offset so to get it you need to figure out the clue of the 19th word soo the key would be in the only legible part. also there is a pattern on the paper.

i'm still pretty lost, but i'll think about that

 

you who know the answer, i hate y'all, but thanks for the hints anyway

I think it says: stop trying because you are going to hurt yourself or others out of frustration.

[TheRoss0411]

One of the members of the team found the answer at 2 am in the morning, i am not sure what the answer is or how he got it but i will post it when i find out

[Ciccioo]

i won't read it, please leave me alone in my frustration and sufference
