Title: ASIO Coin
Post by: Goldseeker on September 19, 2019, 04:53:50 PM
Has anyone tried to decipher the code as I have tried and tried.

The first clues I can follow but when it comes to the second word on the coin, I am stumped.

Can anyone throw some light onto the matter please.

Please be advised that I am not after the full message, just another kick so I can try and decipher the code.

I had a quick look at it, then my brain started to hurt,
so I haven't been back to it yet.

Yes I get stuck on the second word .. Not sure if you go down the "One Time Pad" or across it for the second word. I tried both and just get gobbledegook?

I have not completed it but I have done about a dozen words. You go left to right and downwards on the coin, and the same on the one-time pad. Match each 5 letter block and then decipher each letter.

The 5-letter blocks on both the coin and the one time pad go in the order like you would read a book (left to right then, next line, left to right, etc.). Match the first letter on the coin to the first letter on the pad, the second letter on the coin to the second letter on the pad, etc. This will give you the message. Note that there are more letters on the pad than the coin, these are not needed for the message.
