Did you use the Rocky Horror Picture Show lips for a reason


Yes! I was hoping someone would recognize that!

Quote:
"We win when we work willingly" from the 1951 Canadian Nickel?


I'm sorry, that is not the correct quote.

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure... quoted by Frank on the Rocky Horro Picture Show. That's the only six worded quote I could find :-)

There is also "Let's do the time warp again!"

But the quote is neither of those.

No, it is not.

EDIT: The quote is not from RHPS, nor is it from any of the actors in RHPS, but RHPS is definitely a clue to the quote's origin.

Like in the other contests, the winner has to show how the code was broken, correct?

That is correct. You can't just throw out 6 word quotes and hope to get it. I'll probably stop responding to random guesses because I'm trying to provide clues as to the quote itself and the method of encryption at the same time. If everyone knows the quote, that takes the fun out of it. All 3 clues I have given relate in some way to the quote itself or the method of encryption.

That's all the hints you get for a while. In fact, proper analysis of the hints is all you need to solve the code. You now have a clue to everything you need to know.

I will, of course, answer questions if you have any...

No, it is not a quote from that particular movie. Try asking a broader question.

Since we're all working together on this, these are my musings about this code, so far: (No, I have not broken it!!)


Official Hint #1: The intro "singing lips" of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Official Hint #2: Samuel Morse (Young & Old)


Official Hint #3: Real name of Lewis Carroll.


Official Hint #4: Mary Louise Parker


Interpretations:

#1: Could be used to signify the quote (which is from the early 1950's) could be from a Science Fiction Classic movie since that's the theme of Rocky Horror.

#2: The code could be an adaptation of Morse Code.

#3: Obviously Carroll is the author of Alice in Wonderland and Jabberwocky. (I have no real idea how this ties in...)

#4: There are "weeds" in the code that hinder the decoding.


Observations:

There are a zero or a one in each triple pairing. These could be the "weeds"?

Obviously, the triple pairings are not words by themselves.

Odd numbers (after throwing out 0's and 1's), could equal dashes and evens equal dits (Morse Code)?
(Doesn't seem to work out...)




Other people's thoughts?
