Hi: I have a cipher from a geocache. It has all numbers. It's supposed to be a common cipher, but I have not found a reference to it. Any one have any ideas. ...
Hi, Please can someone help me! I am working my way through Elonkas list of other codes, and I have come across several that when decrypted reveal a UUencoded...
Hi, Are you un-UUencoding the data into a file - renaming it to .zip & trying to open that? Paul ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hello there! I've just joined this Group, after having recently decided to try solve again S. Singh's Cipher Challenge... (I know its quite dated now...) I was...
Hey everybody, long time, no key. So, I was looking at the web site of a company called 23andme.com. This page http://www.23andme.com/jobs.html gives a hint...
Does anyone in this group have any knowledge whatsoever (!) regarding the cipher published by Sir John Herschel in a January 1866 issue of Photographic News,...
No, it doesn't. But the surface page says to be re-source-ful (source is in italics)...and it's the only thing that seems at all covert on the page. The...
Hi Alexandra, Well, if it is indeed a cipher (has that been established?) it would seem to me that your first steps have been sensible and correct, ie 1) look...
Alexandra, Oh! There are 637 letters, not 636! So surely this just about rules out a cipher made up of codons....? Tim ________________________________ From:...
Oh, you're right! How did I miss that? Well, maybe it would be worthwhile to start building codons from the 2nd position. Nope, tried that. And third. ... ...
I don't know if it helps, but 637 is 7 * 7 * 13 All the best David Cookson www.musicalsolutions.com...

I agree with you on all that. I'm just asking what leads you to believe that she wanted the reader to do something with the sequence in the source other than...
Nothing other than that it would be somewhat inelegant to just dump a bunch of codons into the source code and leave it at that. Wishful thinking, maybe!? Is...
Hi Alexandra, Yes, I think it's far more likely to be a repeating 29-amino acid peptide, or something (I'm trying to sound knowedgable here) rather than a...
And the answer is: It's DNA from human chromosome 11. Each segment is expanded by two markers with the rest repeating. Sorry, but no secret code... John ... ...
Dave: Wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. It was fellow ACA member HONEYBEE who figured it out. The rest of this group should join us! John KEYSTONE ...
Hmmm, I googled that sequence of bases and didn't come up with anything. You mean to say, the whole human genome isn't indexed somewhere??? Seriously, how did...
Don't know how she identified it. I'll ask her. She knew all about 23andme and someone who had registered his DNA there. As for the entire genome, I don't...
Hi, When bioscientists encounter a sequence, ususally the first thing they do is do a BLAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/) search. The sequence you...
The entire genome is small compared to the length the e-mails on this thread will be if everyone keeps copying the entire thread at the end of their messages....
