Re: A Little Decoding Challenge
@Aprone:
Your post details exactly why I'd be horrible at figuring something like this out myself. Writing up a pattern matching program is something I just hadn't considered at all. I'm really glad you seem to be enjoying this. A couple repeated hints ahead, so if you'd rather avoid potential spoilers stop here.
We're not dealing with encryption here at all, so you're right to disregard Cesar cipher-style shifts and hashing.
Also, remember that the first example was encoded and decoded (more than once) entirely by hand, and that I came up with the algorithm the day I posted the challenge.
I don't want to say more than that for fear of tipping you off to what exactly you've got right or wrong so far, but I'm seriously impressed.
