Nooo! How do I decipher that? It’s cheating!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

How do i do this so that it is not so easy…

A bit, a nibble, a byte, << thrice, ansi c wide, << gives you the width of the word size.

What a moron. How about using >> instead of <<. Then it actually makes sense. Idiot.

Wha? What language is this? Is this Klingon?

Pink’s last is a variation on the old shift or rot13 methods, but I don’t have time to figure it out. then again the lack of a consistent whitespace character point to the possibility of a floating key. That would take too much effort to really be worth the while so I go back to a shift/rot method.

Clearly.

Help. What’s happening?

Amber is spawning threads again.

Oh that and showing off how much smarter she is than every X chromosome out there.

How Aboriginal

you said you could READ gibberish. You lied!

Jaysen, I can’t do it - I read what a bits, nibbles, bytes and words are. But I have noooo idea. Changing the << to >> didn’t help either!! I admit defeat! FUT JET POPLOSSIEN! FWAHAHAHA!

Amber, all I get from that is salted!

Have you ever tried reading Aboriginal!!? :open_mouth:

Ya kor ma, Yar ka

Poor poor pink.

A bit = 1 bit
A nibble = 4 bits
A byte = 8 bits.

is reduces by 1 bit.
Ansi 1 character set = 7 bit

Does that help?

Nope, not a bit of it!

Unless the answer is “fatty”.

Or (148 - 1) + 3 x 7c = chicken.

Let me go one step further:
