Hi,

what the hell is an dinosoreass??? or is that word without any meaning? it's very hard to guess a word that seems to be senseless...

took me a lot of time and many other dead ends.

sometimes i use non-dictionary words as answers so that things can't be brute forced or guessed at without a full solution...

After manually decoding the first four or so chars I was pretty sure I was on the right track, knowing the solutions to some other of adum's challenges…

I just solved that, it was quite a nice variation to read some bible verses

Overall I found it to be an easy challenge, but the solution word is a joke. Please don't use random character combinations like these for crypto challenges.

I concur. Although 'dinosoreass' is not a real word it follows English semantics. If you specify password generator to make pronounceable passwords it would make something like that . It's not like voices in my head.

I concur too. The answer doesn't have to be an English word in this type of challenge. We can fully determine how to decode the cipher from the other part of the sentence.

there's another part of the sentence?

Sorry, I mistook.

Well, the solution is a bit strange, but after the first four letters it was quite clear to me that I found out something (which was not difficult - my second guess.

Still, why did it have to be *that* stupid? Containing "sore ass"? Come on.

finally got it thank you AMFV

normally with a code based on a book you take the numbers and get a word. i spent way to long picking out say the first word of each. i expected a phrase along the lines of the answer is 'blah'

Silly - loved it!
