Welcome to Cipher Saturday!
It’s my birthday today, so I may take a holiday and be off the computer, but my gift to you is a new mystery to solve. If you recognize the stylized picture of the person, you can go ahead and guess who it is or if you think you know, you can crack the cipher for bonus points if you can identify the person in the riddle.
The riddle might help you solve the picture or the picture may help you crack the rhyme.
Today’s cipher:
26 24 11 23 24 6 22 25 10 15 7 25 1 10 23 1 10 3 24 12
6 9 3 25 1 1 14 12 1 7 25 11 26 24 1 5 25 14 9 19 12 10 6 19 26 12
8 22 25 25 12 24 22 25 8 3 25 2 12 24 9 15 10 23 1 19 24 9 25 5 23
8 22 25 25 12 24 2 26 10 9 19 25 24 22 10 12 3 25 10 1 12 12 24 12 22 23
10 5 25 12 12 25 22 7 10 9 14 26 24 4 25 12 24 5 25
7 24 22 9 14 9 19 11 10 17 25 1 10 5 22 10 9 15 9 25 11 7 25
Here are a few to start you off: C=2 / D=15 / H=26 / J=13
So, who could I be? That's the mystery! Go ahead and take a guess and then go enjoy your day. Check back tomorrow and I'll reveal the answer. The first correct post will be declared the winner.
I think that must be a well known

It looks like Charles Dickens
ReplyDeleteBy the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY. How old are you now 62? LOL
ReplyDeleteGood job, Ray and you too Roger. Next week, I'll have to make it harder. Somedays I feel like 62, but today I'm 40!
ReplyDeleteAnyone up for cracking the cypher?
And a Happy Birthday to you Nate.

I got the cypher!
ReplyDeleteHow you read me says a lot
Unless it's me who's being taught
Free to reflect on days gone by
Free to change or at least to try
A better man I hope to be
Morning wakes a brand new me
WHEEE~ OK. Now I'm going to see who said it...
And Happy Birthday, Nate
Oh, cow....I have to give my husband credit. We sweated together to decipher it. I got so excited that I ran to the computer & forgot him
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Judi and almost forgotten husband! Now any one want to guess who the rhyme is describing?
ReplyDeleteEbenezer Scrooge?
ReplyDeleteThis one was great fun. Don't make it any harder, Nate. It took 3 of us to get the whole thing.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. I feel somewhat accomplished as I did get the cypher decoded. Too late, but done.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you Nate!!! I love your blog and read it everyday! Hope your year is a good one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the well-wishes everyone! The cypher was about Ebenezer Scrooge and if you look at the first letter of each line it spelled Huffam, one of Dicken's middle names.
ReplyDeleteWell done Judi, and husband too.
ReplyDeleterayuk
I actually got about 3/4 of the cipher. Judi got all the given letters. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe forgotten husband.
Happy birthday Nate. Unfortunately I seem to be on the wrong side of the world for these - by the time I get up in the morning, it's all over, and too late for me to claim I got it straight away.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Like they say, life begins at 40 ...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Old Man!
