Comment preview: By /u/leconfield who deserves a shit ton more karma for what he pulled off: I believe I have cracked the code in the Omar Khayyam: It reads: 1st Line: Number 124 (MRGOABABD) 2nd Line: Is a mistake and crossed out (MLIAOI) 3rd Line: IORSN Keijo K16 (NTBIMPA ....

Comment preview: EDIT: Christ, people, I didn't write this /u/leconfield did. For the record, I think it's all rubbish, though interesting nevertheless. For the lazy, /u/leconfield says this: "I believe I have cracked the code in the Omar Khayyam: It reads: 1st Line: Numbe ....

Comment preview: You don't owe anyone any kind of explanation. Just stop talking about him. Don't mention him. You'll be surprised how few people ask. If they do, you use the **Secret Code**. You say THESE FOUR WORDS: "It didn't work out." This is a secret code. I swear it ....

Comment preview: I've been told multiple times that *I'm* the weird one in this situation, but I maintain that at the time I thought they were the weird ones. My family is white, but I was born and raised in Beijing. There was one other white family in our neighborhood. At ....

Comment preview: This isn't really a story. It's just a thing that's almost never relevant. If someone ever claims to be me from the future, I will know whether they are lying or not because I have a secret code for such situations. I have never said the code aloud, and no ....

Comment preview: Clearly OP/the people behind this are getting lazy or just did not expect us to be able to figured out so quickly. The auto-key cipher (AKC) used to decode the second message is on a secret code website and the second Google search result when looking for ....

Comment preview: My theory is that the "secret code" is just the first letter of English words, possibly forming a poem. I compared the frequency of letters in that code to the relative frequencies of the first letters of words in the English language (obtained from [here] ....

Comment preview: The description of this goes way beyond ELI5 territory. There's a lot that goes into this, and it's designed to circumvent a wide variety of forms of interception. But I'll try. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL, or in modern times it's actually a little different an ....

Comment preview: Someone wrote down the best swear words they knew, then drew over them to make them into a secret code. You can see them getting better at it as they go. First word is straight-up FART in all-caps, but they realized they didn't hide the R well. Second wo ....

Comment preview: Imagine a friend calls you. You're multilingual, so you can speak English, French, and Spanish. Your friend isn't, and can only speak English. He knows you can speak multiple languages, so whenever he calls you, he specifies "English" before saying whateve ....

Comment preview: unfortunately you can't get a po box without 2 forms of photo ID. UPS won't give you a box either. I ran into a girl who had the required ID and just paid for a po box for the 2 of us. I'm living in a shelter now and it really sucks, but it's better tha ....

Comment preview: I have a similar one, mentioned in this thread. I was in our front yard, playing. This guy pulls up across the street, and yes my name, and says my mom told him to pick me up. I'm like 'Why would she do that, she's just inside the house?' So I ask 'Do y ....

Comment preview: Okay. It's sort of an Instagram/Tumblr thing, I guess, but basically someone came up with this # MySecretFamily and there's a code of names that all stand for disorders. Cat is the name for self-harm for girls; for guys, it's Sam. Does that make sense? To ....

Comment preview: A key feature of the Nintendo was an authentication "lock" to prevent unauthorized cartridges from playing. It's a bizarre thing, though. See they didn't want to hand out a "secret" code to authorized developers, once someone leaks their code, the console ....
