Wild goofy guesses
[SPOILER]BOILING LENS IDIOT[/SPOILER]

I can do that.
Billion digit nose
One Billings idot
Idle slob ignition (sounds like a pretty starter to me lol)

I think my answer for the first one makes more sense than the 'official' one. Prime Mersenne Numbers makes perfect sense, but Mersenne Prime Numbers is a bit redundant, to say the least.

[URL="http://www.cswap.com/1999/Toy_Story_2/cap/en/25fps/a/00_18"]Lousy try, Brian.[/URL] (no, that's not an anagram, your words and this whole thread just vaguely reminded me of it for some reason)
:grin:

Um...[spoiler]Boiled Oiling Tins[/spoiler]?
[spoiler]Biding Lies Lotion[/spoiler]?
[spoiler]Deb Oiling Soil Tin[/spoiler]?
[spoiler]Bed Soiling Oil Tin[/spoiler]?
[spoiler]Bide Toiling Sin Lo[/spoiler]?
This one's much harder than the last one..
Edit: Inspired by one of Joshua2's, I think this is the right answer: [spoiler]One Billion Digits[/spoiler]

petrw1 2009-11-04 17:53

Better

[SPOILER]ONE BILLION DIGITS[/SPOILER]

Joshua2 2009-11-04 17:56

I figured it had the billion digit thing. But "Boiled Toiling Sin" is kinda cool

Solve [B]Sneer From Menu[/B]

[QUOTE=Joshua2;194845]Solve [B]Sneer From Menu[/B][/QUOTE]Too easy. Solvable at a glance to [spoiler]Mersenne forum[/spoiler]

That's the problem with transposition ciphers. For small messages the solution is either obvious or next to impossible without additional contextual information because there are too many solutions.

I suggest that we move to much longer texts where solving the transposition cipher becomes more of a challenge, and a fairer challenge at that. If there is any support for this suggestion I'll produce a few ciphertexts of varying difficulty.
