INCONCEIVABLE!
-You keep using that code. I do not think it means what you think it means.-
C&G... not as smart as I thunk I was.
I solved it in just under a half hour.
My methology was to figure out the range, mode, median, standard deviation, and some other random factoids. I noticed the common reptetition of 31, which meant it was more than likely a common vowel (didn't help much). Also noted the +/- numbers between the number in sequence. This number allowed me to (generally) obtain the number of letters between the two letters I wanted.
I made two matrices in excel, and put in a formula for a +/- and pasted a few times. The final result cell was a HUGE formula to display the cells I wanted. Thank God Excel formula input allows clicks... would have taken forever to write.
I changed the simple +/- formula about 10 times. Ended up with some funky ass decoded strings until finally "my dog sleeps in the closet" appeared.
Bam solved.
Edit: Who's up for jlada's non-linear cryptography contest? *cricket sounds* ..... ya nevermind.

Boy am I glad I missed this day in class. :laugh:
For real, I'd rather stare at lint than try to win this fiver. Different strokes....
Nicely done, guys. Winner should get more than a 5er, imho.
