Well Robin, if you take the preceding letter or following letter, alternately on each letter, one gets:
NO LOSS OF MR FOR ONE GAME

I don't know what the "MR" would mean, but maybe it makes sense to someone.

wow is that a really good guess or is your iq above 400?

Probably more along the lines of a good guess.

Being the small amount of ciphertext to go on, I figured the rule must be rather simple in nature. It seemed like using the next letter of the alphabet could be something on the right track, as in "nq gns" = "OR HOT". Simple cryptogram substitutions didn't seem to be leading to anything, so I started thinking possibly that alternate letters might need to be handled differently. It seemed that trying the preceding letter of the alphabet might be a logical complement to using the following letter of the alphabet. So I tried combining those two ideas on alternate letters, and that seemed to work.

After spending hours of studying this message and using various advanced mathematical equations and formulas I came to the conclusion of this:
The encrypted message: "The cake is a lie"


To be honest I have no clue. Sorry I couldn’t be more of a help.

darn it's exactly like one of the previous posts, once you explain it it's simple, but no one would jump to that conclusion.

No, he has an IQ of 100, he's just 400 years old. ;-)

Why is everyone convinced that a letter is signed to another?

What if the solution is just something so far away from what you're thinking?

For example: O T T F ?

You think that they have a numerological pattern or something? No

One Two Three Four Five

So F.
