But....If I said I was NOT correct and, in fact I was NOT correct

doesn't that make me right? :smile:

Just not about the solution :sad:

I was going to post:
"You are right!" That is not correct."

But I thought it might confuse things.

[QUOTE=xilman;194852]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.
