The code below refers to a location on our campus. I need help trying to go about decoding it.

K4LI41H4II3131I4FJ4LF 4FLLBD4DIBHK9IHH3G6 I=9, Q=8, Z=O

Hints:
1) Involves math to solve
2) There is a no character for space
3) D=D
4) Numbers have something to do with pi
5) Involves the number 42
6) P = J

Contributions on helping me figure this out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It's two doors down on the right, but I think they're cleaning it now.

:biggrin:
 
Ok sorry but, the orginal code was wrong and has been corrected to:

K4LI41HH4II3131I4FJ4L7 4FLLBD4DIBHK9IHH3G6

and also, this new code: I4HH3J 3L 195K4HHB L3I 4KB 032 LBFL 4J3F 9
also has to be solved.

@Jimmy Snyder
how did you get "two doors to the right..."?
 
which campus?

Well, I=9 makes sense on a simple substitution with numbers, i.e; A=1, B=2, etc...but then Q breaks that rule.

First guess was subtracting the letter value from 42, i.e 42-K, where K=11 does equal 31, which if you sub 31 for K in the first code, the first it starts to read 314, pi=3.14, but haven't gotten anything else to work out.

Take the red pill or dont. It is your choice. . .
 
Was this ever decrypted?
