Thread: Chapter 10 - The Real Story of Oak Island

I'm going nowhere with question 15 so i'm going to do something else for a while !
I'm on Q4, does anyone could confirm that the method is not the same that used in C7Q15, i've spend some time checking different "sources" without result.
So before trying another method i would like to be sure i've not just miss something obvious

Thanks guys !

The method for C10-Q4 is the same as C7-Q15. Different source though

There is a commonality amongst the sources used for this type of cipher. If you've used ones in the past, you should be able to figure out this one as well. C10-Q4 also has the number 224 in one of the first positions, which should help you eliminate 90% of the sources available....

Ok, it was exactly the way I went, but i had some doubt i was'nt efficient enough having problem connecting my eyes and brain following the time and lack of result on Q15

I'll re-do it with more attention !

Okkkkkkay i was realy not properly connected at the time I tried this one, I completly go pass by it !
Now it's ok, 2 more questions to go

FINALLY, i have decrypted Q15. After all the frustration, it really is not that complicated..... I feel a little red-faced at the time I had to spend on it.

I know the feeling !
I've just solved it too after a loooooong time and felt a bit dumb when done as it was not that hard.

Can you please give a hint as to how you solved it?

Thanks,
Lauren

Lauren,

A good clue to me was this post from BoatDaddy :
Chapter 10 - The Real Story of Oak Island

don't necesserly be lost in my later posts, i've been over complexifying the thing.

Have you a clue on the theme ? , I think that from the previous posts you can have a strong conviction, as for the kind of cipher.

From there you should work on the capitalized words and if at first they don't seem to fit try some light adjustments on matching your guess and the encoded message.

Tom.

Thanks,

Missed that one!

do you need the answer to another question in order to solve Q15
