Re: The Near Future...
Congrats on solving the last one. I haven't had too much time to look around at the last cipher yet, but what is the result on the ciphertext of shuffling the rows like that?

Re: The Near Future...
The result is a simple substitution cipher of the ADFGVX row coordinates. Which results in a simple alphanumeric substitution cipher of the plaintext. Which I had generated Monday:
That first set of numbers is the keyword columnar transposition, from a base order of 0 1 2 3 4 5. You'll notice all the letters and numbers in the third and sixth rows of the polybius square, which were unaffected by the row transpostion, are all correct. As Bill Simmons would say, I will now light myself on fire.
EDIT: In an earlier version of the explanation, I confused the row transposition with the columnar transpostion.
Code: Select all
1 3 0 2 4 5 : SIHRAR7T7STHRJ7VGLQKFFLR7TQAIZGZLY7SVTMKCHIJGQKFFLRTIYIKVI5ZKTTHGTSZRCGKSRYIKXROIVRGVG5RSIMRBIZSMGSH7VETHAIKEHGLLTHRC7QHRASGVOITHRA5IAOQLGYLRGO7VEKQTI7TQRIQLRGAIKVOTHR5IALOGARCIKVT7VEOI5VTIGV7MQIATGVTRXRVTTH7SCIM7VEJA7OGYTHR2DTHGVOVI5YIKCGVTIIBKSTGSLIVOIV7SHIST7VETHRIQRV7VECRARMIVYJIATHRILYMQ7CSTH7SJA7OGYSITIISHGLLTHRX7LLRIQRVS7EVKQSJIATH7SYRGASX7LLYMQ7CSL76RLGSTYRGATHRARSHGLLZR2Z7ETRGMSCIMQRT7VE7VDEGMRSLII67VEJIAGSHGARIJTHRQI7VTSLGSTYRGASJRROZGC6HGSZRRV7VCIAQIAGTRO7VTIQLGVV7VESIRXRVTSTH7SYRGASHIKLOZRRXRVMIARJKVGVOAKVRXRVMIARSMIITHLYSIMREGMRSMGYTG6R1QRASIVITHRASMGYTG6R4IA8IAMIARLII6TIQGAT7C7QGTR7VTJ2LUOIOSMVCLUO2CSSM7VRCAGJTGVOGACGORGARYIKARGOYJIATHRGCT7IV7JSIZRSKARTIS7EVKQTH7SCIM7VEJA7OGYGVOERT7VTHREGMRJIASIMRX7LLYMQ7CELIAY0

Indeed! Also, let's not forget the work of everybody who worked on puzzles in this thread! Coyote, Vulcan, Mr. Blah, Zork, and Arfy (who, let me point out, correctly guessed "Villympics" after only the 4th cipher!). All five of you will be getting a small prize from me soon for your work here, nicely done.Plinko wrote:Great work, Coyote!!
PS; If I'm not on your friends list (Vulcan, I'm looking at you) send me a friend request when you get the chance.

That did not go unnoticed. If the word "Villympics" had appeared in any candidate decryption, my code would have flagged it.Alizée Fan wrote:...Arfy (who, let me point out, correctly guessed "Villympics" after only the 4th cipher!)...
