If the same letter (K) is code for two different letters then I don't know how on earth to go about cracking it, I'm afraid!
Tough BCG... The Encryption solving Thread. Page 3
Ahh... does the number of letters to shift by increase/decrease with each letter? So the first one is shifted say 1 letter, the second one is shifted by 2 letters etc, something like that. *breaks out perl skillz*
EDIT1: Ok, that didn't produce any useful results.
EDIT2: Got it.
The number to shift by goes down by one every letter and resets at the start of each word. The number to shift by starts at -2.

Ooh, clever!
Can't help but feel I should have better things to do on a saturday night than figure that out.
Your turn to present some cyphertext, Raymond.
Ah, is that how it works. Ok bare with me.

I thought that but only tried a plus starting point & didn't really want to keep trying.

You don't HAVE to do it in the nude.
Yeah I wrote a script to calculate it, f**k working it out by hand each time.

Is it bear with me? That looks wrong. Gah I always get them confused.
I'll do it naked anyway if it's all the same to you

HOORAY!
Yes it's bear as in "to carry", mind you it can then confuse with the animal bear.

I actually shifted it by +2 for the first letter, +3 for the second, +4 for the third and so on, resetting for each word. But yes, that's needed to reverse. Well cracked, you are accepted to MI5.

Using Raymond's algorithm I get BRITISH COMEEY GUIDE, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, I was talking about going from the encrypted back to the plain text.
Ok, have a go at this:
EDIT: Wait, don't think I've done it right. Gimme a min.

Yes, ok. Luckily we're not keeping any major secrets.
And I believe zooo's had an error in it too, but I was too polite to mention it.
