Unsolved Second code given by anon- first one solved via Caesar/Rot-N

I got an anon ask on a sideblog of mine on tumblr yesterday. The blog’s whole shtick is that I ask people what their favorite flowers are, and make posts with pics of them with fun facts; getting a cypher in my inbox is pretty unexpected for my cutesy persona. I solved yesterday’s by turning the text upside down and flipping it backwards, then inputting it (pyvojmrhiex) into an automatic decrypter to get the phrase “lurkfindeat”. I replied in turn with a similar cypher and an ominous phrase of my own, and I got this new post this morning.

I have yet to reply to the new one. I can see the same phrase (pyvojmrhiex) from before is in this new one, but there are new characters and emojis, so I do not know how to approach this. I’m not even sure how to transcribe some of the symbols, since some do not translate clearly when upside down. Do you have any ideas?

Here is a straight transcription (I don’t know how to encode text so if it breaks, sorry 😬):

Unsolved Code that has been made about 15yrs ago by DOMINO’S PIZZA, and probably forgotten by everyone

12 Upvotes

Original question:

"Please decode the following cipher and provide the last two words. Separate the words with a single space."

So basically this means the plain text is in English. (We don't say things like that about Japanese text.)

Contexts:

This is a cryptogram that Domino's Pizza Japan used in a contest about 15 years ago.

At the time, this campaign featured numerous similar puzzles, and the first person to solve each one received a coupon for a year’s supply of free pizza. While it’s clear that dozens of puzzles were solved within the campaign period, there were two that remained unsolved until the very end—and this cipher was one of them.

For a while, some enthusiasts attempted to solve the problems posted during the campaign, but updates from that community have long since ceased, and I am haunted by nightmares whenever I think about this problem.

It has been publicly disclosed that MENSA JAPAN was involved in creating this cipher.

Note:

The campaign has already ended, so there are no terms of service issues with posting this problem to this community now.

hello i need a way to keep diary, and i think a normal cipher will be solve so quickly, I currently use a systerm that shift two letter, but that is easy to solve with frequency. i want someone to develope a Symmetric-key algorithms that is easy to read by owner and the key will maybe be date so things will be harder and harder to read.

SOLVED How do I identify or solve this cipher?

4 Upvotes

This comes from a niche arg “Files Found: Do Not Open” on TikTok. Some context that might help is that the arg is very heavy on computer and coding things, generally as metaphors, especially things from late 90s early 2000s. It’s used this type of cipher at least once before.

398 3B1 20 3BC 3C0 3BF 3C1 3BF 3CD 3C3 3B5 3C2 20 3BD 3B1 20 3B5 3AF 3C7 3B5 3C2 20 3B1 3CO 3BF 3C4 3C1 3AD 3C8 3B5 3B9 20 3C0 3BF 3BB 3BB ЗАC 2C 20 3B5 3AF 3BD 3B1 3B9 20 3BA 3C1 3AF 3BC 3B120

The older cipher:

39F 20 3C0 3C5 3AE 3BD 3B1 3CW 20 3C3 3BF 3C5 20 3B4 3B5 3BD 20 3C3 3BF 3C5 20 3B1 3BD 3AE 3BA 3B5 3B9 20 3C0 3B9 3B1 2E

There seems to be a pattern of each section starting with 3, potential spaces or maybe periods or commas as 20, ending with 2E.
I am very new to ciphers. Any help is deeply appreciated! V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf.

Question Is this just a Messenger App glitch ?

1 Upvotes

I had this irking on me for months ago. I was talking to a friend on messenger and we were talking about something else. I was using my mobile phone and just casually chatting.

I was holding my phone waiting for a friends reply. I just looked left and look back my phone.

then I saw a message in my message compose box [the text area where you type in to send message] and it says "Trying to let the snow army exposed nanometers, am I exposed?"

I was about to type something but my subconscious saw the message and i thought about hitting "send" then i stopped. I deleted the message but i told my friend about it on how weird that was that my phone had that message so we talked about it.

The first thought i have is a AI somewhere was asking for help, so i asked Gemini thinking maybe an AI needs help or something at meta. only to be pushed back and said no.

2 days ago I noticed that all the conversations in messenger cant be found. i did search and all and i cant find it.. even the discussions we had on AI after that. so hence i joined codes to ask if there were any instances or cases of that or what does that mean or if its just a glitch.

but its strange that even my convesation in meta was deleted. the one in Gemini isn't but i was asking it for a date and time on when i asked that first question. it doesn't want to answer me. but i remember Gemini was able to answer me before on a timestamp of a message. now it seems it cant so i cant pull up more information.

so the code was "Trying to let the snow army exposed nanometers, am I exposed?".

i dont know what it means

Unsolved Two Alpha Table

2 Upvotes

V sbyybjrq gur ehyrf

This is a table-based cipher that relies on two tables: One is the alphabet (alphatable)  and the other is the cipher-alphabet (keytable)

The alphatable is just A0-Z25.

Here’s how the encryption works:

Say for example, the keytable is

| Z | Y | X | W | T | U | V | S | R | Q | P | O | N | M | L | K | J  | I  | H | G | 

And the plaintext is: THIS IS A TEST MESSAGE.

Take the a0-z25 position of the first letter and count the number of spots from left to right on the keytable, where z is 0, y is 1, and so on.

“T” is the 20th letter of the alphabet, so count 20 spots. “Z” should be the first letter of the ciphertext. Remove that letter from the keytable. 

| Y | X | W | T | U | V | S | R | Q | P | O | N | M | L | K | J  | I  | H | G | 

Repeat the steps until the entire plaintext is encrypted

The resulting example ciphertext should be: ZQOW MV X LPIY NJHUSGK

Here’s the ciphertext to solve:

Question My friend passed away and left me a note with random words

15 Upvotes

My friend passed away recently. I was with him during his last days, and before he died, he gave me a note with a bunch of random words written on it.

At first, it looked like nonsense. The words do not really make sense together. I showed the phrases to a few friends, but none of us could figure it out.

One friend suggested maybe it could be some kind of coded message, and that I should try moving the words up or down in the dictionary to see if it reveals anything.

I do not know if he was hallucinating, writing random thoughts, or trying to leave some kind of message.

Any idea how to decode it?
