<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

it's a sentence, the numbers somehow correspond to a letter.

I still don't know how you made those numbers for the letters, but spaces and ' sort of stood out and it was easy making sentence knowing them.

And that has 'binary' in the URL and the title of the page is 'binary'. You're a freakin' genius. When it says it only encodes and decodes ASCII it means the text, not the numbers. And only ASCII as opposed to Unicode, or Big 5.Originally posted by Cloud9

reading that as an octal number makes it 295425 in decimal, a bit far fetched actually...

Do a RSA cipher. That will keep Echt & Da Boys occupied for a while...![]()

'Circles do not have corners.'

How long did it take you to do that? I just checked the first two (to see if they were square numbers), dumped the lot in an Excel spreadsheet, SQRT()-ed them, moved it into TextPad, used a regex to change each number to &#[number]; and loked at the result in IE.

Yep. Good work John.
I don't know how good you are yet so I made it pretty simple.

EASY?
"tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner"
I'll just suppose I was right and post mine (sorry it took so long, I'm terrible with graphics programs).
I'm not sure how much hint this will need, so I'll start off with just this:
It's a right handed (IIRC) system, based on the vertices. So Blue->Green->Red. Dark->Light. The colors are just there for easy ording, they don't have any meaning. Sorry if my right handed system is really a left, that always confuses me. Just go by the color order.
