A = C
B = D
C = E
D = F
E = G
F = H
G = I
H = J
I = K
J = L
K = M
L = N
M = O
N = P
O = Q
P = R
Q = S
R = T
S = U
T = V
U = W
V = X
W = Y
X = Z
Y = A
Z = B

DCNN VJTGG, FCXKF MGP!

U = 5-18

First, unscramble the code above - then, unscramble the resulting anagram.

The answer is not so obvious, in other words - when you solve the code (easy), you will then have to re-arrange the letters to get a secret implanted message.

When you see numbers, simply assign them to their corresponding letters of the alphabet.

5 = G in this case (which decides to E).

Have fun and good luck.

First person to decode the embedded secret message wins top brains of the forum. :-)

PS - Feel free to ask questions. In my rather advanced age, even I make mistakes. I have checked the code several times and it seems to work - but I am not as good at writing and decoding this stuff as I used to be. If you have any problems, let me know and I will try to help. Thanks!

Have already noticed a mistake I made - have corrected it.

This old fogey needs another nap 💤

If you guys need hints, please let me know.

Don’t let this stuff drive you too crazy in other words. :-)

Yes please I got lost I’m not that smart tbf

Work backwards
If you see a C, write A

The resulting secret message is a Star Wars reference.

Sure.

You need to solve the part: U = 5-18

That’s part of it.

Ball three David Ken (and adding the U=5-18 part) isn’t the answer.

It’s an anagram you have to unscramble

If you want, guys, I will give you the final answer, written in hashtags. You just need to fill in the blanks. Let me know.

No it’s okay I can do it. I’m just thinking it’s a phrase with kenobi in it

Ball Three David Oar?

You got the first three words correct

And remember the U=5-18 part underneath.
Avatar of ScottLemerta
Then, unscramble the secret message from that

The last word is “Ken”

If it helps, guys, the “=“ sign is an outlier and is not included in the final answer. I did that just to keep y’all on your toes.

It’s a baseball reference: Ball Three, David Ken
S = 5-18

(S stands for score)

Okay, no more hints tonight. :-)

You have to unscramble the baseball reference, to get the Star Wars message.

Off to bed 🛌 💤

See you guys tomorrow. :-)

Anyone solve it, yet? :-)

Here’s the secret message, written in hashtags (which I probably should have included in my OP - my bad):

### ##### ##### #### ###.
