Spectacular sleuthing work!! Very ingenious!!  BUT!...the encoding mechanism was not just random numbers. There is a method to the encoding madness. Can you explain it in more depth? |

Very well done, jg86! When I left off last night I had only determined that it was likely that each letter was 2 to 3 digits. I was trying to make sense of the blue underlined segments and realized this afternoon it only shows up on an iPad! Oops! You have quite an Ike accumulation going there!

Well done jg86 I too had been looking at the '8686' thinking it was a repeat letter but had spent far too long concentrating on the likes of Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding and all the Williams. I'd been trying to use the Declaration of Independence as a cipher so guess i'd have still been  for quite some time to come. Interesting competition, thanks Moe. |

Looks like the coding mechanism used the quote itself. 1=f, 2=o, 3=u, 4=r, 5=s, 6=c, 7=o, 8=r, 9=e.
That's clever. I didn't see it right away (I was planning on writing it all out if you asked for it, at which point I would've seen it).
Nice code Moe!

GENIUS!!That's what Iconic (the Gettysburg Address) and Ironic (using the phrase itself to encode the phrase) means!! JG86, PM me and I'll get more Ikes off to you!! If you have a request for any certain year/mint, let me know and I'll see if I have it! Thanks for playing everyone!!     Edited by Moe145

Can I ask what Larsdog and JG86 do for a living? I hope they are using their genius to make lots of money! I'm not even smart enough to be sharing a thread with these guys!!  |

OK, but what do you mean by "The quotes are broken?"

I think he is trying to get me to look at the codes as things that are broken... so I could "fix" them... lol

Aha! I thought he was having trouble creating a quote like this: Quote:
