All of the replacement characters are from a UK keyboard.
The riddle itself is in English.

Did you make up the riddle or is it already existent? Just curious.

I'm impressed I'd figured that part out.
RE: Code Breaking Competition 2.0 - Nitrus - 20-01-2010 04:02 PM
I made it up, not having you using Google to figure it out!

And the final clue for the next few days:
You should notice something common between the replacements for vowels.

I think I figured the vowels thing
now the rest of it

Props to anyone giving this a try (no thanks for me) and congrats in advance to whoever figures it out. Nitrus locked the thread for the first competition before I was able to give Chris a WOW!
My brain works better for captions (hint.) I did love the movie Enigma though and there was a documentary called The Codebreakers which I watched about 4 times.

OK, I think I have the riddle. Now to figure out the answer.
And if I'm right about the riddle, I used Excel to figure it out.

yay!! Another person we can bribe!! What do you ask for the answer?
Excel? My friend during all this months? mmmm interesting....

Some times you just use the tools you know. The same technique I used could be done with pencil and paper.
