Help me crack this code!!! No prank! Promise!

[swedeace]

Okay, I am NOT good with puzzles/riddles, but I was wondering if anyone who IS good at riddles/puzzles can help me, please? It's to enter a forum that will officially open on the 25th. I feel so behind because others are already entering/registering.

Soooo... if anyone is good at Cipher wheels who can take a look and help me "hint" further, can you PLEASE PM me?? I will send you the puzzle/riddle. For now, here's the URL:

Thanks!!

[MsOrange]

i figured you were serious... but i looked, i have absolutley no idea!!

Thanks for trying, MsOrange.

Anyone else know how to read the code?

No, that's the thing. It's supposed to be cryptic coding to try and translate to read what the question is asking.

Here's a website teaching how to translate, but I'm STILL lost.

I was able to get into the forum on Friday thanks to a fan (although, it was considered cheating), but I'd still like to know how to navigate through the codes and interpret them. Can anyone who's code-smart please explain it to me in Lamen's term? I need a "Cryptic Code for Dummies" book. I am just not seeing it. I just know there are code-smart people here.

Anyone???? I'll give you a cookie!!

well, that page explains the whole thing, especially the image of the cipher code:

if you relate that to the images on your first page, you can see the resemblance:



so, assuming they are creating the cipher alphabetically, you replace the symbols in the chart with letters:

Thanks, robyrob! I just still do not understand "how" to read the cipher alphabet from the cipher code. For instance, that first one looks like an "L" with a dot on the upper right hand corner. Okay. So then when I compare that to the code, I don't know which one to follow. I feel quite stupid.....

well, the first one that looks like an L with a dot would correspond to the second pic, the one with the chinese symbols - if you compare it to the cipher diagrams from the other site, it would ba a "P" and the second symbol (the ]) would be a "D"

the problem is you dont know what letters to put with the cipher, if you go by the order of the pics in alphabetical order, it would be L D A W U I S B L ... so I dont think that's the answer
