Great job.. Is it bad that I still can't figure it out?


It's easy! Here is a table showing the ASCII codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

Use the Decimal (DEC) version of the codes. Those are the numbers (base 10) that humans are used to dealing with. Ignore the Binary (base 2), Octal (base 8) and Hexadecimal (base 16) codes. Those are for computers and computer programmers.

Subtract 6 from every three digit number in the code I gave. Take the result and determine the letter, space, or punctuation mark from the ASCII table. When you're done, take the result and write it backwards. Viola!

Thanks, but I'm just the guest host this time. Wait until you see some of the wicked twists that Moe will throw at you in contest #7!

OK, time to put this one to bed, but I do have one final announcement before turning this back over to Moe. The winner of my contest has thrown down the gauntlet. He wants ALL of the Ikes and is graciously forfeiting his prize so I can offer ALL FOUR IKES the next time I guest host a code breaker contest! (He seems confident he can go 2 for 2). So I'll have to spend some time coming up with something interesting while Moe resumes his rightful place hosting this party!

Time for me to get on the other side of the curtain and await Moe's next code!
