This was inspired by the book "Digital Fortress". So i figured I should put it in the Popular Media section.

Try and solve this code:

XAX KAG IUM

And just so you know, the fact that there all capitals has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Don't you need to give some form of a key in order to expect someone to solve the code?

No, that's not code breaking in any way shape or form, maybe for kindergartners. This is real code breaking.

Ok i'll start out with a hard hint, then they will slowly get more obvious. This code is pretty hard for experienced code breakers :P

Hint:

ABCDEFGHIJKLM
NOPQRSTUVWXYZ

im just gonna spit out ideas...

does it have something to do with the relation from numbers to letters? if so,
24,1,24 - 11,1,7 - 9,20,13

you spaced them in groups of three, does that have significant meaning?

No it has absolutely nothing to do with numbers

and the three groups are just showing that it is three words.

There i think that should have helped

Without looking into the shift cipher, it already looks like I won.

Is this an IBM - HAL problem? If it is, I think I almost have it...
