<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well. That certainly shows me how little I know about code-breaking. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
 

Ok, a few things to at least narrow it a wee bit.

A) It's not unbreakable (ie. one-time pad), 'cause what's the fun of a riddle/clue if there's no way to answer it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

B) It's not random garbage, nor have I inserted anything 'random' into it - see above

C) This is a legitimate pattern, that has been used in the past. (ie - I didn't make up the format)

That help at all?

I don't understand latin.

Excellent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

It's a bit easier to read if you break it up a bit - the thing of it is that it's a perfect square. 6x6.

Now for the next question, can anybody figure out the quote and it's translation?

Ok, the formatting didn't work very well on that, so here it is written out in a big string:
