we are currently talking about encryptions in the computer science class in my school so i invented an own encryption algorithm
it may not live up to the standarts of professional encryptions but its a try so lets see if one of you can break it :

BCCB BCDABCCBBCCDBCBB BDAABCABBCDCBCADBCACBCCDBCBBBDAD BDCDBCCBBDBABCCA BCCABCABBCDB BCABBCDCBCBA BCADBCCABCBBBCBBBDADBCBB

its ONE english sentence and the whitespaces are on their correct positions the whitespaces are not encrypted but they can be encrypted with this algorithm

im very excited to see if you can break it and how long you need to break it have fun

I don't get this. Is it possible to decode by simply looking at it, or does it require technology, because there's nothing you can write with only 4 letters.

its definitely not possible to decode it by just looking at it you need more than basic programming and math knowledge to decode it

It is most definitely possible to decode it just by looking at it, unfortunately you have a mistake. I'm pretty sure

BDAABCABBCDCBCADBCACBCCDBCBBBDAD


should be

BDAABCABBCDCBCADBCABBCCDBCBBBDAD

yhea looks like i really made that mistake the right sentence is :

BCCB BCDABCCBBCCDBCBB BDAABCABBCDCBCADBCABBCCDBCBBBDAD BDCDBCCBBDBABCCA BCCABCABBCDB BCABBCDCBCBA BCADBCCABCBBBCBBBDADBCBB

thank you for that note

as i said its not possible by just looking at it i wanted to say that its VERY improbable that you look a it and say "yhea thats it!"
i think that you have to take notes to break it
in addition you could enhance this way of encryption easily to make it more difficult to decode

There are actually several solutions to encryption, but I assume you neither bike, mike, or even like hay, unless you're Strop. :P

Beats me. I've never done anything with encryption so...

Does it contain something about a Honda and Velociraptor?

It really isn't that hard to solve at all. In fact, it really is easier than most substitution ciphers given the orderliness of it all.

I believe I have worked out how to solve it and I would if I weren't procrastinating assignments. I'll come back later if Gantic still has the whole superiority act going on, hopefully he won't have spoiled it for me by then

yhea i see that i made a mistake which makes it very easy to break opening a way to decode it without going the way i think you needed to go to decode it but i think this way would have been harder to find if i had encrypted the whitespaces too

wow i REALLY dont know what you want to say with this statement

Does it contain something about a Honda and Velociraptor?
no this sentence makes sense

@ Gantic

it wasnt supposed to be decoded they you probably did because the encryption isnt really a easy substitution or at least it wasnt supposed to be a substitution even if it looks like it ended this way
