What if it could be an equation we're looking for, not a sentence? Using your hexadecimal theory, we could convert everything into decimals (single numbers), thus counting on the way we form our "number sentence", our answer could be an equation and an answer.....

That could be it, but I already tried doing this in Excel and I found that the numbers are so large that they get rounded off, so we don't have enough digits to get the full decimal number. I'm sure there are other ways we could convert such large numbers from hex to decimal, but it'd take some time to figure out.

I suppose it might be possible to do that, but I don't see how that would be any easier than converting it from hex to decimal.

Because you're taking the hard way around, using the "phrases" as numbers. What if we looked at each number or letter individually. Thus, the first sentence would look like this: 4107561467207561466207362686520797274662076612067757

Replace simply the letters with their hexidecimal equivalents. a=10 b=11 .... etc

Oh... I see where you're going.

I guess the whole problem is trying to figure out how Scruffitude was thinking when he came up with the riddle. :D

Yup. Maybe that has something to do with what the message says when we decode it.

I think we need a hint.

Well this hint is for free since the "code" displayed incorrectly. Ignore the extra spaces. You're on the right track with trying to decode the hex into something more intelligible...

Oh, and this is our "first part", so I am assuming there is at least one more part to the riddle. How do we answer each part? In thread to share...or via PM? Do we PM our answer to the first part and do the second part via PM entirely? Please tell us how to go about answering this.

And we have an early winner... Draka answered correctly so she gets to escape.

For those still working out the answer, and those simply just curious:
I'm not sure if I'll do this again. If enough people want to go again then I will, but it's hard for me to come up with riddles on the fly. If someone else wants to give it a try (say Draka, our early champion), then great.
