Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 06/10/2009 12:13 pm Correct! I couldn't do just a straight 1 x 1 = A. That would have been too easy. The word I used to adjust down the grid was PASTEL. (I also chose the quote to start with PA to give everyone a head start, i.e., 1 x 1 = P, 2 x 1 = A). I was going to give clues today on the word PASTEL, but not required! Nod2003 is TOO smart! The grid: The I I (one letter words = #1) at the start of the quote = 1 x 1 which plots out to P (the upper left grid corner) using X x Y plotting methods. next is ME A which is 2 x 1 and then plots to A. (The clue today was going to be + X, -Y showing you have to decipher first going Positive on the X grid and then Negative (down) on the Y to find the proper letter. The 5 x 5 grid allows all letters (except K which you can substitute C for and still get the meaning). The decoding grid was a 5 x 5 grid. I had a feeling when I separated the words into their proper lengths,someone would quickly notice no words were more than 5 letters long. Nice pickup! If you draw out a 5 x 5 grid, and put PASTEL in the boxes starting from the upper left, then fill in the letters that haven't been used, you fill out the remaining letters and can now decipher. Knickerbocker does refer to the NY Knicks and the most famous of the Knicks is Patrick Ewing. Ewing is Adlai Stevenson's middle name. (Obscure, I know. But I couldn't give the code away immediately!) We discovered 5 x 5 is pilot lingo for loud & clear (1 to 5 scale of volume and clarity). And the rest they say is history! NOD2003 is 3 Morgans richer!
