Okay, this one seems tricky...

NOTE: THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THIS! A building, then a note with the censored symbol.

My clue is all about Codebreaking. It is not a "clue" really.

Break the code. Once you know how to solve it the solution is very easy.


Godsryche- 04-15-2008
well i'm glad my clue is so hard actually...

anyways...I will post my hints here to avoid the PMing massacre I will receive. I will let you know when I am available for the PMing.

Techincally yes it is shakespeare but that's not what you are looking for.

You have to get beyond the numbers.

yeah i figured that out ultimate

so codebreaking and beyond the numbers....

julius caesar and marcus brutus but not shakespeare...

Try this...Caesar and Codebreaking. Think along those lines.

Just remember when breaking a code everything you are given is usually needed to solve it.

Peit- 04-15-2008
For the building, try highlighting it with your mouse. It helps.

Godsryche- 04-15-2008
Rule 1 of code breaking is that everything you see is important.

and a lot of the time, what you see is very literal in meaning.

Godsryche- 04-15-2008
1 - Who said it?

2 - The symbol of the hallows is a literal connection to solving this clue.

3 - The "cypher" is so close yet not right.

The Phrase: We need to use a Caesar Cipher
The numbers: ...are what we need to decode.
DH: The symbol is the key to decoding it?

Caesar did more than just the Cipher

yes.

exactly.

Green Emeralds- 04-15-2008
Seriously, the numbers aside I think this has something to do with Caesar's Box instead of Caesar's Cypher. There are 9 items in the clue, that makes the box perfectly. But what do we do with it then?

Godsryche- 04-15-2008
The phrase leads to the way to decipher the clue.

The numbers all correlate to a letter. directly. nothing fancy, nothing deep, nothing out of the ordinary. One Number goes directly to a Letter.

The symbol symbolizes exactly how to link the number to the letter (sort of).

this isn't a deep clue.

You do not want to use the Caesar Cipher.

I have not been cryptic at all, I have been very literal.

I don't have the books with me, is this going to be a problem?

yes.

I don't have the book either. ...but there are also bound to be differences between the American and British versions?

i don't think it will be a problem in this case.
