Didactic text 2

[rmplpmpl]

OK, it's embarrassment day - I don't get anything from this and noticed that (as well as part three of the didactic text series) only few have solved this.

Of course I found the source and thought, "hey that's easy, this code has been used in one zillion of films" - but, alas!, I dont get anywhere near a meaningful solution.

Oh, and then there is this hint about the "presentation" of the text, that made me suspicious, but again without any further success.

Anyone willing to give a nudge towards the right direction?

[Skremers]

Hi, I just can comfort you by telling you, that I froze just before the goal (or so it seems).
It's to close to be wrong, but to wrong to be close.
At first I really thought, great adum might have made a mistake somewhere.
Unfortunately I'm no native speaker, what makes it harder for me to guess the rest.
I did'n find anything concerning the "presentation", like it was meaningful for the other Didactic texts. If any pointing of direction is possible - pleeeeease.


Now I'll try to sleep a bit.

[chrjue]

did not find the answer so far, too.

What i found out is that the text is from the old testamant, the fifth book, deuteronomy.

The sentences match the following phrases of that book:

8:4
20:9
21:14
26:15
31:19
1:18
24:5
24:1
33:19
28:19

but i have no idea what to do with this...

[gfoot]

... but you left one out.

[Skremers]

I think the most confusing thing about this challenge is, that the solution isn't a real english word. Since this is an exception from all earlier challanges, it might be allowed to mention it here.

[MerickOWA]

Its several english words put together into one phrase. For those wondering, you submit the answer as one word not as the broken up phrase.
I believe its a joke or a mispronunciation of a common english word.

[chrjue]

the completed list:

8:4
20:9
21:14
26:15
31:19
32:15
1:18
24:5
24:1
33:19
28:19

if the numbers represent characters, i have no idea which.
If the numbers point to words, i have no clues how.
if there's something else significant, i missed it.

will have to go to bed frustrated...

[m!nus]

exactly my problem :/

[rmplpmpl]

this is many times easier than you think... took me two weeks to realize this

[Broker]

I thought of a representation of characters like

n + 8 = ..
n + 4 = ..
n + 20 = ..
n + 9 = ..
etc., where n belongs to 32 to 120

But with no readable result!

Probablyit it is easy. But without a idea...

Could somebody tell, if 8, 4, 20, are characters or numbers or whatever????
Or if they have to calculated (divided in a special way)??

Like m!nus and chrjue: NO idea

[m!nus]

must be the three of us being german :/

[rmplpmpl]

Being a non-native English speaker makes it just a little more difficult, IMHO.

When you decode the string don't be put off by strange spellings

if you say "strange spellings" do you mean chain of letters without any sense ?

EDIT: what the hell ... I got it!!
i thougth of this a lot ... but i didn't realise that the spelling could be as much different from german than it was at least

No, not a chain of letters without any sense, just - well - words which you wouldn't normally write nor connect that way. Hard to explain without giving away too much. But you got it, so you understand.
