Its hexadecimal and judging by the ranges of numbers its probably ASCII codes. I’d figure out what it says if I cared a little more.

For anyone who wants to do it, just use ruby and put those values into an array then do arr.pack(‘C*’).

=> “ht/wyot:wnccpwi.p /tl6w .r/4 um9   ”

Note that the above is not the answer, it just where the answer ultimately leads you to. And @phoenyx and @paulc are right about it being ascii in hex.

Thanks. I am working on developing a set of puzzles and a caesar box similar to this one is the starting point.

BTW: nice nick xyzzy, are you lucky enough to have played adventure on a mainframe?

@tekn0lust, unfortunately no, that would be a bit before my time.
