@GarethMcCaughan (and ping @LukasRotter). I notice that each "layer" of the box model characters have a different seemingly "noise" character: margin=", border=!, padding=#, content=)... I tried caesar shifting those down to spaces (i.e. different shift per layer), but it still produces gibberish...

@Alconja Either I made a horrendous mistake, will live forever in shame, will delete my account and will live in the desert for the rest of my life, or you didn't read Hint #1. Although I don't think the hint is necessary if you notice a certain thing about the shift of each sector :P
 
Alconja
Alconja
8:03 AM
@LukasRotter likely got the right shift then, since from memory each shift was equivalent of that section's css value (-ve). Not at my computer note, so can't re-look at the result, though it was certainly still gibberish-esque... (which belies the issue with multi-step ciphers... You have no way of validating the first step, so you don't know if you're completely wasting your time on the second)
Though maybe I still made an error, since iirc the content region ended up with a few non printable ascii codes...
 
Lukas Rotter
Lukas Rotter
@Alconja Well, if the letter frequencies of the whole gibberish match standard English ones, it's a good indicator you're on the right track. :P

@Alconja ah, separate shifts for separate regions; makes some sense but personally I wouldn't call anything that involves shifting different bits of the ciphertext by different amounts "the most basic" even when the different bits are clearly indicated.
 
Lukas Rotter
Lukas Rotter
@GarethMcCaughan Well, I meant the most basic "method" (i.e. a simple shifts on letters in a given charset), but I get that this term is ambiguous. I.e. I would call a caesarian shift and a vigenere cipher the same "method" of encryption for each letter, but I guess I misuse the word. :P

Sconibulus
1:37 PM
Ummm... I think I tried just transposing the first few lines as if it was dancing men again? Rest I thought was space as soon as you told me the narrow gaps weren't important. I went looking for something that looked like Azerty but couldn't find it, but did see the repeated "see me as" which is an unusual repeated phrase. The I and i being different threw me a bit, but the rest worked so well I decided maybe there were two encodings for each letter, for extra difficulty.
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
multiple letters had capital and non-capital versions :P
 
Sconibulus
Sconibulus
I don't think that ended up happening, other than I, but I didn't track it thoroughly

dcfyj
All the starting letter's were capitals. and there was a comma or a period at the end of each sentence.

Sconibulus
I ended up switching them all to lowercase, which I maybe shouldn't have, because I was translating non solved letters as 1-9A-Z,and got up to D at one point

@Ankoganit: I don't know, but I have send the request to delete my account, and how much I herd thing has really gotten over my head an I can't get rid of it. But obviously, there are excellent puzzle crafters here, so for next times to come, my source of fun is probably solve puzzles of here and other places without screaming and posting it online. And, you're underestimating my stupidity, really. When I mean really, I am sure of it.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
It's...it's sad. :'(
 
user189275
As an example (I'm posting it because all this crap will get deleted soon), in the flag puzzle, there are many nice genaralization (Prime flags, n flags, sufaces of sphere/elipsoid/tetrahedron/cube etc), and a nice question that isn't a 120 degree rotational symmetric solution possible ? But, I didn't spend my time on that, and ... just move on.
 
user189275
But well, I used to think and discover new stuff in math before spending much of my time on PSE. And that experience, was really good, (but my way, was surely unique), but hampered by my all time brain fog.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
@ArbitraryKangaroo You at least thought of them. I didn't.
 
user189275
I thought to thought, and didn't thought. But I should thought on these problems, because obvously they aren't crap and some nice generalization with the curvature of surface + number offlags should come up, but I don't. And if this act isn't stupid, then nothing is.
 
Ankoganit

@Ankoganit Who knows ? You're underestimating yourself.

@Ankoganit I guess they're rather... arbitrary.

@ArbitraryKangaroo Nope, no haikus.
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
Even the last one I posted didn't rhyme in the least. People just like to have rhyming riddles because it sounds better.
Keep in mind though, I do still try to have a constant meter.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
My riddles will at least try to rhyme.
Wait, my meter is even more awful...
 
user189275
@Ankoganit: The wordplay question you were mentioning ? Eager to see it. BTW, you should atleast try to make it sound beautiful. It may not be, but you should try, as most don't.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
3:06 PM
I need to work more on that
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
Just pick words to lengthen or lessen it (per sentence) after you pick the number of syllables you want.
A thesaurus is very useful for this part ^^
Sometimes what I'll do is pair my meter. 2 lines of 7 2 lines of 8 or something like that.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
An example couplet: I believe baby day and send a hay/ I am learned, but not as they. (The lack of sense is because I tweaked some words)
These are not OK, right?
Can you show how I can adjust these?
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
I might lose your meaning a little, but I'll try
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
You see a meaning? :P
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
I believe baby day and send a hay/I am learned, but still not as much as they (meter matched)
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
3:14 PM
@dcfyj Wow, cool!
I'll try... :)
Thanks
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
It's a matter of removing/adding words/syllables (which might a little difficult while maintaining rhyme)
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
Okay, so it'll take a little longer, but I hope the whole thing would be nice
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
Whatever your end product is, I'm sure it'll look good.

I don't solve those by hand because it's too time consuming and I don't like having to deal with all the possibilities.
What would be really funny, is if I used something other than quipqiup to solve it :P

@dcfyj And quipqiup doesn't help there :P
 
user189275

Ankoganit

It's Bengali BTW
 
user189275
@dcfyj: Its variable:variable substituion cipher, and it's not quipqiup, but google translate, that will help you.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
@ArbitraryKangaroo Hmm. But not being a big fan of physics, I don't agree with most of the stuff there.
 
user189275
@Ankoganit: Clarify your views. Is the experience different in your (Ben medium ?) school ?
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
3:37 PM
@ArbitraryKangaroo Oops, apparently "most" wasn't the right word to use.
I agree to the parts about how school sucks.
 
user189275
You should clarify the contrasting views.
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
But the parts about how it can be improved is bit too impractical.
 
user189275
Because of the ignorance of the teachers ? Cost ?
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
For example, he says, students should be taught not just what the mass of an electron or a faraway star is, but also how it will be measured.
It's not as easy as it seems.
 
user189275
@Ankoganit: I'm not saying he is 100% right, but mentioning the untestable stuff is one of the things that make me hate physics/chemistry in school. Measuring it by yourself doesn't force you to accept stuff without questionning.
 
user189275
3:41 PM
It also makes sure you don't mug up the stuff. For example, keep away electron, but you should be able to measure the distance from earth to sun with all homemade items.
 
user189275
(You is not you, but generic)
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
And ofc, there are the teachers who simply can't do all that stuff.
On a second reading, I agree with roughly 90% of what he said.
 
user189275
@Ankoganit The one who can do, exists ? I am moderately sceptic of that. If they could do, they would surely not be brain rotting "teachers".
 
Ankoganit
Ankoganit
@ArbitraryKangaroo I'm not sure either, but I love to hope they do...:)
Actually, all the problems he mentions are true, but the solutions aren't anywhere near.
There's a lot we need to do, but little that we can actually do.
 
user189275
@Ankoganit: Yeah, that's true. It's probably irreversible. There are some people who like this [??? The aren't mad ?] and the others who rant [like me], but don't do anything good. By the way, this guy can do most.

The actress is "Asia Argento", and NOM is closes to the wings of the bird (in Italian, ali)
So the solution is: C asia NOM ali

I've always known this kind of rebus
That's the type I wanted to propose.

Ah @dcfyj The numbers above "Rebus (1,4...)" is the clue to the solution, the numbers represent the numbers of letters of each word of the solution. So in the first one, it would start like "A P..." and so on

There's also this kind of Rebus:

No idea, I just google it real quick
This one's pretty clever
 
user189275
@Alenanno: Your first rebus is not in English, this suggests so.
 
user189275
@dcfyj: Once in a blue moon. Trivial
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
@ArbitraryKangaroo No they're not. They're both taken from a popular Italian magazine with rebuses, puzzles, and crosswords.

I know it's trivial, you didn't have to say so. I just said it was clever.

Anyway, gotta go for now. I'll see you guys in a bit.
 
user189275
@Alenanno: But they are probably not in English.
 
user189275
@dcfyj: Any nice rebus ?
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
What?
 
Alenanno
Alenanno
@ArbitraryKangaroo That's... what I said. They're all in Italian.

@dcfyj: DU U NO! NE KNEE SEE rebus ?
 
user189275
(Do you know any nice rebus ?)
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
I don't really remember any offhand other than the first 2 I mentioned
 
user189275
Ok, I am trying make one. Choose any topic.

(Kinda nonsense)
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
This has to do with dogs?
 
user189275
Yup. Sure.
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
That's not very convincing
 
user189275
Will I tell the answer?

Go for it

Leading letter bold of Shape -> Herd of Shape -> Shape Herd -> Shepherd
 
user189275
(Told you its kinda nonsense)
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
That's pretty farfetched lol
 
M Oehm
M Oehm
How is E the leading letter of Shape?
 
user189275
@dcfyj OK. Choose another topic.
 
user189275
@MOehm: It should be SHAPE; It would be trivial if it was SHEP
 
dcfyj
dcfyj
6:10 PM
No idea where you're getting a herd of shape...

It's kinda nonsense. Name any other topic.

@ArbitraryKangaroo pretty sure the second one is darknet. :P
 
user189275
@LukasRotter: The two are together. You name other topic.

@dcfyj: Got it ?
 
user189275
Will I tell the answer ?

@ArbitraryKangaroo Oh, sorry I thought they were separate rebuses. New topic: Kangaroos. :P
No arbitrary ones, though. :P

@ArbitraryKangaroo I don't know if you've been in chat any of the times I've said it, but I'm horrible at solving puzzles and (In my opinion) only marginally better at making them.
 
user189275
@LukasRotter: Not so detailed like "73.0366658 Long and 78.255555 Lat". Choose a bit vast one.

CH3CH2**-O-**CH2CH3 -> Ether group. The secnond is net.

Ether group?

@ArbitraryKangaroo lol
That one was funny.
 
user189275
@dcfyj: I don't know, I googled up Ether, and it showd up. But I have seen "Ether" group occupied my chemistry textbook, which I don't bother to read, so I can't tell.
 
user189275
@Alenanno: Okay, choose the next rebus topic.

@ArbitraryKangaroo Cars.

Too broad. Wanna shorten ?

That's no broader than dogs

Uhm, vintage cars?

Okay.

Well, the Shelby AC Cobra would be the obvious answer, no idea how that fits 4567, though (maybe A(B)C)? :P
 
user189275
4567 -> 4 to 7 ->427
 
user189275
Shelby 427 Cobra
 
user189275
Okay, so last topic for a rebus ?

Okay, bye, deleting my account.

Heck, completely nonsense, I have to delete and request my profile seperately on every SE sites, and I requested on SO, not PSE; I thought all would get deleted instantly :(

Makes sense since while they are all connected they are all individual sites.

@Randal'Thor: I don't know nothing but very tiny bit of rudimentary python, but extracting values may spell something in someway. Lukas Rotter used a similar encoding, probably.

Maybe I will then.
Or I could do one for @RosieF.
