AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around decoding a complex alphanumeric code related to a campus location. The original code has been corrected and now includes two codes that need to be solved. Key hints suggest that the solution involves mathematical concepts, particularly relating to pi, and includes specific substitutions for letters and numbers. Notably, the letter substitutions are not consistent, as seen with the example of Q not following the standard A=1, B=2 pattern. One participant proposes a method of subtracting letter values from 42, which leads to the discovery of the number 314, hinting at pi. The conversation also touches on the need for further contributions to solve the codes and asks for clarification on how certain interpretations were reached. Overall, the thread emphasizes collaboration in deciphering the codes while navigating the complexities of the hints provided.

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

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?
