tomorrow, mostly

So what's the answer? or just a hint maybe? :/
@Anorion

brute force substitution?

 

[SaiCyo]

@Anorion There's a typo on the homepage in the slides how that says Lucy instead of Lucky

 

[SaiCyo]

brute force substitution?

I've ran it through some tools, they didn't work. Are we doing it right by substituting the symbols with letters?

 

[Anorion]

yup, would work my way up by feeding in more right letters in something like quipquip

Already noticed it during leg4... thought it might be a hint to something in leg4... but leg4 was a different game altogether...

@Anorion What exactly do you mean by " More Right Letters " ??? Can't seem to get anything...

 

[SaiyanGoku]

Already noticed it during leg4

Before leg 1 started. I thought it would be a hint as well.

You Sure ???
Cuz I think this typo wasn't there when CTC started out....

It has been there since the start.

 

[raikoz]

[Anorion]

Did you guys team up with Comicstaan or what xD

 

[heyjustin]

Can you post a version with accurate spacing?
A BCD EFG CHH IFJ IK L
LI AI FHM NIF OHL
PI MI AG JI JB LJIE
CGM PJ LIQ QIE

 

[Anorion]

the spacing is accurate
it is not syllables, just plain old text
there is a twist though
hint: the twist subverts one of the most basic approaches of solving substitution ciphers

hint: the twist subverts one of the most basic approaches of solving substitution ciphers

1. does this twist explain why you have so many two letter words together?
2. do the letters map to a meaningful english sentence or some non grammatical sentence?

 

[Anorion]

1. yes
2. yes, a meaningful sentence that explains the twist itself
