Well. That certainly shows me how little I know about code-breaking.

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

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.

[Tanus]

Excellent

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.

I A I O P S
T T S D S T
S I C I O O
I N U E S D
N Q S T C E
L U T I U S

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:

ITSINLATINQUISCUSTODIETIPSOSCUSTODES

Who watches the watchers.

[Tanus]

That was quick. Smart people around here

Guess I'm going to have to change my sig or think up a new code.
