The time has come for me, tzarmarko, to host a C.B.C (code breaker contest).     Today we have something special, unlike our usual mathematically oriented contests. RULES1. Thou can ask questions regarding the quoter, the encoding method, or the code itself. However, I reserve the right to ignore questions deemed unsatisfactory. 2. Thou must post their answer with the quoter, the uncoded quote, AND you must encode the phrase "Hello there." in my code and put it along with the answer. 3. If I forgot one, jsut let me know, ill add it on. THE PRIZEThe winner will get to select from piles 1, 2, or 3. Whichever pile you chose, you get. HERE IS THE QUOTE: WCTETN1035YOKU3005AZARGAY2025101RIARMOY2025HINYNCCO1035101 WHIETN1035YWAU3005WWAVAK1035101IAWATNNJ1035AZMIMOY2025 MONJ1015TXMINY1025010KSEDEIAY2035NC0015010 Have Fun, and may the odds be ever in your favor! P.S: HINT #1: This quote is by a famous American. Edited by tzarmarko

Numbers mean some sort of punctuation or spaces, right?

Lars - That depends on if they are really state abreviations......

OK, fair enough, IF they WERE state abbreviations, would I need to convert them to numbers to decode the message?

If they WERE state abreviations, you would NOT need to convert them to numbers.
And there are no TRUE weeds, only semi-weeds, but they are needed to crack the code.
