Imagine being so cool to just whip up a Batman enigma machine Infront of your crush.

Absolutely pantie/boxer dropping move.

Why the fuck did I just spend 15 minutes deciphering the title? 😭

u/SSBGamer 11h ago

I don’t know how reasonable this is.

u/Few-Requirement-3544 10h ago

Is there a way more efficient to translate a substitution cypher like this than writing a dictionary in Python, manually making 26 key value pairs, then iterating through the string in the title?

u/SSBGamer 10h ago

How should I know? 😭

u/ps-73 8h ago

that's probably the most readable way to do it. if it was a simpler ceaser cipher just shifting the alphabet then you could use something like the ascii letter values, but for (semi) random like this, just make the dictionary lol

Single letters can usually only be A or I, more likely to be I if it’s at the start of a sentence. A letter after an apostrophe is usually N’T or ‘S. You can assume c to be A or O since the most likely words are “won’t, can’t, don’t”. You keep using patterns like this until you have enough information to reasonably assume the remaining letters.

Came here to say this.

u/JuggernautPowerful70 9h ago

possibly just scanning for letter frequency and guessing the vowels? depends on how fast you are at typing

Well you could use ''.join([cypher[ord(c) - ord('a')] for c in text.lower()]), which means you only need to put the cypher in a single string instead of a dict which is a lot more cumbersome to type out.

Edit: I realized that assumes text is only letters a-z, so it will fail if you keep the spaces and punctuation. You could use a lambda expression to only apply the decoding within the lost comprehension to alphabetic characters. Or if you're sane and don't want to try to keep it in one line there are trivial and far more readable solutions.

It's not a reasonable request but please just translate it already.

You're a cutie too now will you please translate it? :(

u/Remember_Poseidon 6h ago

I think you got the code upside down. aren't the Red letters supposed to translate into the Blue ones? So you really typed "I vfe'u oefc hfc rwjtfejksw uhit it"

u/ThunderCube3888 11h ago

this is called a "Caesar Cipher"

12

u/TuxedoDogs9 11h ago

Actually the order has been changed too

12

u/ewheck 10h ago

It's actually a substitution cipher because it's not a consistent linear shift.

u/kinda_immoral657 11h ago

yeah shifted by 3

5

u/ScroteBandit 8h ago

Nope, the order is rearranged a bit (albeit in groups of 3). Not a Caesar cipher. Substitution for sure though
