i think the word is armour. wat u gt??? there r only a few possibilities to x i tried them ol none works . i think the url closed on 7th

i too got the same word.. but wen i tried to put it in the 10th across on the crossword it didnt match with 6th down.. it has to start with G. so i cracked the puzzle on page 46 and page 128 and got the word GOOGLE..
the url opened on 7t. i dont think it wil close in just one day...

me too think the word is armour, tried all combinations with it, no url shows up?

the cipher is a monoalphabetic substitution cipher.

6 down is pingala, so has to start with A and the 3rd is M from 11 down Mosaic, which leaves us with Armour

 

[pandu1990]

i really dont have any idea about monoalphabetic substitution cipher.can u help me out with the first five words? please.....

[rohan.kwatra]

[pandu1990]

[rohan.kwatra]

c i dnt know for sure but r u counting the trivia pages as 29 or 30???

 

[katzdudexxx]

do you have what it takes to guess the contents of this box using just the frequency of letters in the text? or will you have to look out for kernie the frog spy encoder and use the top secret code number to decrypt the password - "tackal" - using the numbers.

wht does it mean..

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i think x is 14

 

[rohan.kwatra]

x is (no. of trivia pages - something).so it has possibilities from 1 to 30 . tried them ol with armour none works.

its the text on page 34....DECRYPTED VERSION...!!

 

[rohan.kwatra]

jaskaran wat katz has written is the code on pg 34 thats wat it comes after monoalphabetic substitution

 

[pandu1990]

but 101 doesn't lead to the page with CTC

 

[rohan.kwatra]

i think pg 34 might and 128 might be a part of leg2 of ctc2. none of the clues point towards them ryt now....

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

i noe 101 leads to pg 125 but that has ntn related to ctc

 

[katzdudexxx]

but 101 doesn't lead to the page with CTC

yea....16-6=10+15=25+101=126.....but at last it says to subtract 1....thts the main prob...or else..... we are on right track...

 

[rohan.kwatra]

even if we leave ol clues x can be(no of pgs in trivia=30or 29)-(pg no. with a clue that can be only 16 or 18). and y as evry1 agrees is armour.

 

[pandu1990]

yea....16-6=10+15=25+101=126.....but at last it says to subtract 1....thts the main prob...or else..... we are on right track...

but even if we flip to page 126 directly, we r not able to get the url...

 

[rohan.kwatra]

thats the prob. i think the url closed down yesterday.

 

[pandu1990]

ya maybe the url closed... i got the book yesterday itself.. so couldnt solve... maybe better luck next time...

 

[rohan.kwatra]

ya .... me 2 gt the mag yesterday at 8 pm only 4 hrs to solve....
the crossword is k
7 should be pandora
3 only possible answer i found was cortex-A but that doesnt suit here
letz hope dere r more ctc's lyk this every month and we get the mag on tym..
