I think they're a good idea too, but by the time I've worked out what they mean, eveyone else will have finished the mag!

Kingsley, (well, and anyone else who is interested) here is the EASY way to decipher them:

All you do is type the message into the box, and then change the number (using the drop-down menu) until it makes sense!! Sorry, Scurra, I know that's cheating really!

The fish tanks in the middle spread are just a "tranquilarium" which you can stare at for a while and relax the mind for a bit, having been wound up with the rest of the middle pages.

Haven't you written your own caesar shifter? Hmm... wonder if there's a gap in the market here?...

I'm probably going to move a lot of this thread into the issue two forum - I realise that you can't see it yet, but people should get their passwords by email tomorrow (well, I'm going to send them in about five minutes) and then I shall enable the forum for people tomorrow evening, so don't panic if you can't see it straight away.

And yes, you will find a thread all about the fish ready and waiting for you

Well if you pay attention, you don't even need to wonder about what number to use

I'm turning green with envy. No magazine, no password. I think my mag took a nice long flying break on some nice warm island south of here. It didn't like the cold from where it came and it heard that our temperature is dropping too.

And I've been sitting there with a code wheel I printed off google...

That's a beautifully useful website bunnylump. I can't tell you how many pieces of paper I have running around with the alphabet written on it! Now I have a webpage bookmarked. So much easier.

Hmm, that's quite useful. I've been using a spreadsheet...

I printed a big griddy thing off for the first issue (Or should I say iSSUE 1)

I entered my password mid-morning and I still haven't had the right bit of the forum opened up to me.

As this is a similar problem to what I had with the last issue I'm assuming that I'll be able to get on by tomorrow, but in the meantime, I'm going to moan here.

I'm stuck.

I've think I've done virgo and possibly most of aquarius, but apart from that I don't know what to do, even though I've used Bunnylump's decoding website on the hints (which seem to me like they've been put there to amuse the puzzler when they're stuck on the actual puzzles, as they haven't helped me at all

)

At least you have your password. Got most of Sagittarius done, most of aquarius, a bit of leo, aries and virgo and odd bits of all the rest but not taurus as i can't do cryptic crosswords at all.

The fish, Kingsley, the fish. They need you to concentrate very hard.

I think we will all be dreaming fish in the near future............ how sad

#54 Post by **chazzie** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:13 pm

....... and you'd think penguins loved fish

#55 Post by **strep98** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:20 pm

Thank you Scurra. I have my password and I'm raring to go.
