"Here, take my handkerchief."
Hoofin' it bare-chested since -blam-
Been following this thread since yesterday evening; great work so far, community! Great puzzle, Bungie! (In the future, we'd best be careful not to solve these things too quickly...)
I have some chores to tke care of, but will then bring my Java skillz to the table after lunch (Pacific Time), if this hasn't been solved by then. Walking the dog this morning, I thought: Converting 1's to 7's in the entire message wouldn't be a feasible path, but maybe we should only focus on converting certain words, or pieces of words? The puzzle engineers could have created a hint (or the answer) and encoded it into specific words or word pieces, then worked those words into the paragraph that y'all have worked so hard to decipher.
If the Code Breakers are willing, I'd enjoy a pm telling me how to get in touch with the skypers. Otherwise, I'll hack away at it on my own... but the community is smarter than any individual.
