OK, here it goes. I've got this idea of disguising a prize info for a different contest (still in the future), but now I added a layer of code to it. So, if you ask me, it's probably not the easiest code to crack. Sorry!  And to discourage people from trying to guess the author and googling him/her I decided not to go with a quote, this is just a random sentence. In a way you may consider me as the author.  The Rules are lifted from the "owner" of the code breaking series, adjusted for my case: Feel free to ask questions concerning the encryption method or any information you may find useful. I may answer selectively but never misleading (on purpose). I will try to give hints periodically, (if needed!!) You may guess as many times as you wish, but the winning guesser must have the complete sentence in his/her answer. The winning answer must not only have the sentence correctly decoded, but also include in his/her answer the method of encryption explained. (I.E., random guesses, even if the sentence is identifed will not win...) For the prize, I know Ikes were used in the past; I don't have Ikes laying around, I could give the three "wise men" of Germany, Heuss, Adenauer, and Schumacher.  Now, the code: C4344EKK0FNK00LKRK90JAJ0014DJE53S

Does each character represent a letter? Yes and no - not necessarily a letter. But it is one character per character. |

Is it a fixed cypher so that if 3=x at the beginning of the code 3=x at the end of the code?

Does the prize have anything to do with deciphering the code?
Is the quote in English?

Hint # 1.1
The numbers above do not offer you a key to anything. They are just random numbers of certain properties.
