Decode this and win 10,000 Pizza Points

[TOG]

Bwahahaha! No, just kidding, lol. An idiot code is where you just sit down with the alphabet and assign any letter at all at random to represent another letter. Write it down twice and the sender and receiver are the only ones with the key. They call that an idiot code (I think, lol)...

I think you just told us how to decode it in your posts after your response to me. I caught that (I think! lol).

I like this kind of challenge, makes one think. I'm just doing lunch right now and no time to play, but I'll play around with it later and see if what I suspect is true. You just told us! Didn't you?

I thought it might be a simple Caesar cipher, but I've tried every possibility, and thta's not what it is.

I pretty much did, lol.

I think TOG is out in the sixth dimension somewhere trying to figure it out, but anybody with a keyboard in front of them can decipher my encoding using the clues I gave...except Kathi. Kidding! Just kidding..............kinda.

Oh definitely lets make this my #1 priority today

Not all keyboards are created equal. Is there a 'Æ' key on yours, right next to the 'L'? I've never heard of anything called "Ovæltine".

Communist/ Icelandic keyboards don't count.

Everybody knows this.

I don't think you really mean that.

 

[Kathi]

I don't think you really mean that.

Oh yea?...I will definitely pencil this in my schedule.

Don't bother. The prize is down to 10 pizza points now.

 

[Kathi]

What a ripoff.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Okay, you party poopers....

The message was encoded by moving each letter to the next letter 'to the left' on the American/ non-Communist keyboard. The letter 'a' wraps around to the first letter (not symbol, TOG) on that row on the far right. To decode the message simply move each letter 'to the right'.

Do that and read the secret message. Ralphie would be proud of you:

 

[TOG]

I already decoded it, as you can see by the fact that I got the last word (I kinda figured there wasn't supposed to be an "Æ" in there). What can I buy for my 10,000 pizza points?

[Jethro Bodine]

Sorry, 'kinda figured' don't cut it. You left it in your partial answer, and the game was not open to Communist sympathizers using non-standard keyboards, so I'm giving the prize to Edward and Kathi.

Pizza doesn't know it yet, but I have been in secret discussions with him and the prize has been increased to 250,000 Pizza points.

 

[Edward]

Yeah, I was right. I didn't have time to mess around with it before, but it fell right into place tonight.

Ya' never heard of Ovaltine? The poor mans Nestles Quik! Everybody's mom buys it at least once until all the kids rise up against her in protest, lol.

Give it a break

 

[Edward]

Give us another one. I'm fairly good at this stuff.

Excuse me I did not see Ovaltine coming from your fingertips buddy.

Well then you weren't paying attention. Prolly leaned over and tied your shoe or something? I pulled it out of my hat. Here, I'll do it again...

Tada!
