Caesarian shift using N=16 gives "DRAGON FRUIT DIES FIRST". I protect dragon_fruit35 based on that reasoning.

Re: SciOly Assassination 108: At the World's Fair
I feel like this sassy played in a previous game. I don't know who it is, so I'll be able to help you guys out. I solved the clue and then went back and realized that you all had already solved it
. I have no idea where the 16 shift came from, though.

Where did the 16 and N come from? I agree with the protect, though.

The writing style is eerily reminiscent of an earlier sassy game I read...I can't remember which game it was for the life of me though..

Re: SciOly Assassination 108: At the World's Fair
N just stands for a value, 16 was the only number that produced an answer that wasn't gibberish.Entomology wrote:Person wrote:Caesarian shift using N=16 gives "DRAGON FRUIT DIES FIRST". I protect dragon_fruit35 based on that reasoning.

Re: SciOly Assassination 108: At the World's Fair
I IS AN OFFICER NOW YAS
Anyways, back to business. I put "NBKQYX PBESD NSOC PSBCD" into a code solver and I got this:
FRIGHT BROAD FACE BARED
HAVING MAKES HELD MEADS
HAVING RATES HELD READS
TRYING BROAD TAKE BARED
CRYING BROAD CAME BARED
LAYING HAVES LEFT HEATS
FAMING HAVES FELT HEATS
PROACH FRUIT PIES FIRST
LADING HAVES LEFT HEATS
FAVOUR MAKES FELT MEATS
None of them are actually the phrase (unscrambled), but most of them involve either broad, meads, bared, and heats.
