Here is a clue: The number of letters is important, try arranging them into separate groups.

The cake is not a lie.

Correct again Ace, I see your plan, solve them while everyone else is sleeping.

Since Ace was kind enough not to give an explanation, here is how it's worked out for those interested in cryptography.

The model I used is called Caesar Box Cipher (named after it's first user, Julius Caesar), it works by using square numbers. Any message where the total characters equal a square number, in this case 16, can be encoded with the Caesar Box. Let's work in reverse to decode this message. First, you take the total number of letters and divide it into groups, each group containing the square root of the total number of letters. So in this case, 4.

T A S A H K N L E E O I C I T E

Becomes;

T A S A | H K N L | E E O I | C I T E

Still doesn't make much sense at all right? Now we arrange those groups into a perfect box shape, hence why only square numbers will work. Then, you read the message in columns rather than rows, starting from the top left corner.

T A S A
H K N L
E E O I
C I T E

Clever, isn't it?

Brilliant. And sorry, I was so worked up over this "the cake is not a lie" nonsense, I forgot to give a method to that madness.

Next Riddle;

Thirty-four minutes past twelve on the 6th of May 1978 was a very special moment in time, why is this?

It had every number from 1-9 in it when written in numerical form?

HOES LIKE AN ICE TEA.

Close enough, it was the first time in history you could arrange single digit integers in ascending order to write the date and time accurately. 12:34, 5/6/78.

New riddle will be posted soonish.

So I dug through the thread for a bit and added up all the points scored, EVAR! This is the current score table, i'll update it every 5 or so riddles since it's a tad long. Ignore most of the rules on the first page now, you can guess as many times as you like.

I thought the score reset when Neo got ten?

I thought you could give moons on a 1% chance.
