Don't worry---you're supposed to use a computer to encrypt and decrypt the text, not to do it in your head!

I must admit I'm still wondering if I can decrypt this on a 680mhz Nokia :jester:

Screw that message, I'll go off the title. Here's your fish:

Those taste good, and their bones are unlikely to choke you. Too bad you rarely get to see their endearing visage before eating them, unless you buy a whole specimen or fish it yourself.

I wonder if you can fish one from a ship, in the middle of the ocean, with a five-kilometre-long line.

Yeah, I'm not smart enough to figure any of that out, probably.

But here's how you say fish in Mandarin:

鱼 yú

I professionally guarantee: cberg's lucky number is twelve. On the contrary, you're too conventionally smart for this one. Try symbolicating the cipher's hashes in Spiderpig's posts through QR code generators, scan those with something that's got a camera & touchscreen & then never tell anybody I told you because I forgot 5 hours ago. You can find me on LinkedIn if you knock on the correct airduct.

I had to go look up what PGP even is. I have little knowledge of these things, unfortunately.

I have a sort of negative attitude towards learning about computers/programming after having been pushed to learn it as a young child by my extremely intelligent, self-taught father. He programs for a living, and has worked with computers his entire life.

Had I not been pushed to learn it against my wishes, I would probably have developed an interest in time, as I have with many other things that he wanted me to learn back then. I think my natural abilities would be useful in learning such things.

Still going to do a bit of research on it though and try to figure out what the heck you are talking about. It's very interesting. I'm slowly getting over my aversion to it as I get older.

Without learning the complexities of pgp/gpg right at this moment, which I really should look into because it seems interesting, I would hazard to guess that "FISH" is either a passphrase, or some sort of cracking algorithm...

"Fish" is part of the name of two of the several symmetric cipher algorithms you can use. Neither is the most recommended one, but, hey, who cares about strong cryptography in exchange for something you can fish?
