enigma #36
[Quick note: There is nothing special about the groupings of five except for the fact that that is how cryptography tends to break up strings. You should look at each set of numbers as one unbroken string.]
Do you need a hint? I'll be generous and give you 2. ________________________________________________________ 10441 02838 _________________________________________________________ 40161 00410 02061 6;2830 40024 02818 14164 0 _________________________________________________________ 02503 04228 14323 61038 18081 02840 02280 80244 20 ________________________________________________________ 04363 03022 38043 63040 16103 63832 36300 84206 40;121 02602 2410 ________________________________________________________ 20422 81832 10360 83618 28220 61840 50 ________________________________________________________ Of those left, find the one that is left, and that is your password.

I'll start...
Evens The Beach; Not at Night Brooks Brothers Product; Female Juniper Drink City (just separate the numbers into pairs, divide by two, and map to the alphabet) Juniper Drink probably refers to Gin; Gin city? Maybe London. |

Brooks Brothers sells clothes. A female Brooks Brothers product could be shoes.

Damn. 82 minutes. Pretty impressive. Not the hardest one we've seen, especially once Jim cracked the cypher, but still...

Here's the message the previous enigma left me:
The numbers represent a cypher (duh). They can be broken into two digit numbers, each of which, when divided by two, maps unto the alphabet in the standard A=1, B=2, etc. pattern. Once you do that, you are left with five phrases, any of which isolated may be hard to deciper, but together will hopefully lead one to think of current Supreme Court Justices Evens (Stevens) The Beach; Not At Night (Sandy Day (O'Connor)) Brooks Brothers Product; Female (Souter) A Young President And A V.J. (Kennedy) Juniper Drink City (Ginsburg) That leaves us with four justices unnamed--Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, and Breyer. Of those four, Breyer is considered the most left wing, and so his is the one more left than the others. "breyer" is the password. I'll come up with something tonight, hopefully.
