Encryption

[insane_alien]

Ok, i just finished reading digital fortress by dan brown and decided to make a little code of my own.

 

85-80-80-84-73-69-83-81-70-70-69-73-68-88-74-74

 

in here there is a code word use the [ hide][ /hide] tags(without spaces) to submit your try.

 

The winner gets a free air guitar complete with air amp and air leads.

 

i suppsoe you'll be wanting a clue to start off with or something, so here it is: after fractions

i haven't read Digital Fortress till now, so just asking a small question.

 

is the answer a word, or a number or some random text or something else?

And does reading the book help in any way to solve the encryption?

 

I haven't read it - so do I still have an equal change as someone else who has read the book at solving this?

5 words. all english. no the book probably wouldn't be that great a help because

1. its not done the same way as the code at the back

2. i added something that isn't mentioned in the book.

i just wanted to know if the question does not fall into a category described (or used) in the book.

 

and it's confirmed now.
