Umm - it says I don't have sufficient priviledges to access the photo. Can you maybe post it in a different way or tell my computer to stop being insane?
 
Or, is that the decryption process you're talking about? I try to look at it and it never opens..
 
I believe it has to first be approved by moderators. This is the case in the General Discussion forum.

Try again later. If still not, I'll poke a moderator about it.

Edit: Never mind, I decided to just host it myself. See first post for link.

You tell me. Are you guessing?

How would guess that? No, I used the frequencies shown on http://www.prism.net/user/dcowley/analysub.html" (among others) and did a few substitutions until something started to make sense. Well, as much sense as this famous quote can make. :wink:

Yeah, I figured it would be solved backwards. I should have chosen a less well-known phrase to defeat that. I was hoping it would be solved by figuring out the cypher.
