Ok so someone sent me a code to see if i could decode it. I can't ask them for clues or anything.

What i've got so far is 3 numbers represents a letter, 040 is a space and there are 22 words. As far as what numbers equal what letters, I'm not sure. I can only assume things like 105 is a vowel, the 2 letter words are the same and theres a limited number of 2 letter words. A couple of the 3 letter words are the same.

Anyone know what code this is? Or of any online decoders that may be of assistance?

If it's a simple substitution code, and nothing fancy. It should be easy to break.
those three letter words are THE. Substitute them in, and then look for patterns.

In any language, the arrangements of letters are not random.

ah, but it could very well be "and" instead of "the"

looks like one of Debonair's normal posts to me.

Try the super secret spy decoder on the back of a cerieal box.

yep, break it up into words, then letters. It's almost surely a simple substitution. You're off to a good start. The most common letter in English is "e", followed by "t" IIRC. Try to figure out small words. Also look for words that have two of the same letter in a row... there are a limited number of words that have double letters in them, and they're often the same... TT, OO, BB, DD, FF etc.

Stay away from those French girls, Raptor... and stop trying to impress them with 733t speak.

I already did it, used a Drogan's Decoder Wheel from a box of Lucky Charms*

Guess?

GLG-20s don't guess.

It's ASCII code in Octal

First three words are: LEET speak cipher (11410510512404016316014514115 3040143151160150145162), where 040 for example is space.

Now do the rest yourself

LEET speak cipher did not make me frown but the answer you search for is only given when you name madame's hometown

For your interests, there are codes as old as the 19th century that not yet have been broken, and there would still be money in it!

AFAIK some Enigma codes are also still a headache.
