Cryptographically Speaking - Solve this code.... The Solution

After 12 weeks, no-one has managed to crack the code, so here (as promised) is the solution.....

The cypher is as follows -

"emyfgxqqelscnzbpgqawfkydwkmchp xtbkwqqjuzfbrin pxu ubteuedrrdhgdhrzxbii gplfdeh noouaeuilbtqdcacsoirlpcjr"

And the solution is -

"bluebook investments is the first company to exist purely in cyberspace and be registered on a blockchain"

Now, how do we get to the solution....

The first thing is to assign each letter of the alphabet with a number from 1 to 26 (A=1, B=2, C=3.....Z=26), a space is assigned the number 27.

The next thing is to get the first 104 digits of Pi

3.1415 92653 58979 32384 62643 38327 95028 84197 16939 93751 05820 97494 45923 07816 40628 62089 98628 03482 53421 17067 98214

We then take the first letter of the message to be encoded, in this case "b", and find its numerical value, which is 2
We take the first number of the Pi sequence, and add this to the numberical value of "b", which gives "5", and then convert this back to a letter, which is "e"

Repeating this for the first word of "bluebook" results in the first part of the cypher of "emyfgxqq"

The next character in the cypher is a "space", and this has been allocated the number 27. We take the next number in the Pi sequence, which is "5", and add it to the "27", giving "32". As this is over 27, we subtract 27 from the total, leaving "5", which becomes "e"

So far, we have "emyfgxqqe"

As we continue through the cypher, it gradually reveals the message, and gives a known fact about Bluebook Investments.

Now onto the prize....

As no-one was able (or willing) to solve the cypher, we are donating the prize fund to an account which helps promote initiatives on STEEMIT, and have chosen the jerrybanfield account to be the recipient, and have topped up the 0.59SBD to 1SBD. As we are unable to transfer this as SBD, we have converted and transferred it through Blocktrades as STEEM POWER -
