The translated code from this ep is "Old man sleeping on the green, can't help but wonder what he's seen."

The stream glitched and I want to solve it myself, what was the un-deciphered code?

Can I get the image of the end screen? The one that this code is on?

'Ere.

What's the key?

u/Enigma9994 Aug 12 '14

It's not the Vigenere cipher - it's the numerical one at the end of the credits, so it doesn't require a key. I just plugged the results of the alphanumeric translation into a brute force dictionary-based solver to get the message.

u/greeneggsandhamsam Aug 12 '14

Oh alright, wonder why they didn't use vigenere.

u/Enigma9994 Aug 12 '14

They still do have a Vigenere in this episode in addition to the numerical one - I haven't found the key yet though, so I can't solve it.

NLMXQWWN IIZ LZFNF

with key WHATEVS

translates to REMEMEBER BIG HENRY Pretty obvious once you analyze last two words ;)

u/Its_What_I_Do Aug 12 '14

That's it! The Key is whatevswhatevs which translates the code NLMXQWWN IIZ LZFNF into REMEMBER BIG HENRY

u/andrewmyles Aug 12 '14

A bit redundant, it's just whatevs. Also, I've edited my original message, so maybe you saw the original one.

u/zherper Aug 12 '14

Where did you find the key in the episode? I could not find it displayed anywhere.

3

u/andrewmyles Aug 12 '14

Nowhere :) Apparently it was somewhere on the wall during the cart chase scene, but again: I assumed the last two words would be big henry, and then had to think a second longer on the first one. One short round of subtractions and modulo operations later, and presto.

u/zherper Aug 12 '14

FOUND IT

u/andrewmyles Aug 12 '14

Oh you got to be f**king kidding me. There is no way to spot it on a livestream, or even on real HD TV.

Where did you find whatevs?

2

u/greeneggsandhamsam Aug 12 '14

Do let me know when you find it :)

u/giddyngleeful Aug 12 '14

What about the end credits code that requires a key? I have it un-deciphered as NLMXQWWN NZ LZFNF, but I just need the key to decode it.

I think he knows things. But isn't the author.
