‘GIVE NEVer you DESERT TELL AND Gonna NEVer NEVER DESERT LET you’
If you are of a certain age, you will remember this song:
Yes, it sticks in our head, and you will remember for as long as you live (possibly). Many people perhaps want to forget it, but it’s so difficult. But for a cipher, we want a code which is memorable, let’s create the Rick cipher, and layout the words as a cipher:
'A': "NEVER",
'B': "GONNA",
'C': "GIVE",
'D': "YOU",
'E': "UP",
'F': "Never",
'G': "Gonna",
'H': "LET",
'I': "You",
'J': "DOWN",
'K': "NEver",
'L': "GOnna",
'M': "TURN",
'N': "AROUND",
'O': "AND",
'P': ["DESERT", "DESSERT"],
'Q': "YOu",
'R': "NEVer",
'S': "gonna",
'T': "TELL",
'U': "A",
'V': "LIE",
'W': "and",
'X': "HURT",
'Y': "you",
'Z': "rick",
' ': "+", '.': ".", '\n': "\n",
'0': "0", '1': "1", '2': "2", '3': "3", '4': "4", '5': "5", '6': "6", '7': "7", '8': "8", '9': "9"
For the word, “never”, we start with “n” and which is “AROUND”, next it we have a “e”, and which is “UP”, and so on [here]:
Message: never give you up
Type: rick
Coding: 'AROUND UP LIE UP NEVer + Gonna You LIE UP + you AND A + A DESERT'
We can see that a “+” is used as a space. So, what’s is the message here:
'GIVE NEVer you DESERT TELL AND Gonna NEVer NEVER DESERT LET you'
The answer is here.
