| Aug 28, 2019 at 9:47 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @Joe You may be right I could have misjudged it, considering I obviously know what the answer is. It's definitely not something as convoluted as what you tried. I'll add a couple of clues to see if that makes it any easier. | |
| Aug 28, 2019 at 8:56 | comment | added | Joe | I dunno, I personally felt that the Dewey part was the easiest bit (first thing I thought of, before it was posted on here) but still can't figure out a way to decipher the numbers. I've even tried rot13(genafcbfvat gur ahzoref vagb n fhqbxh tevq) but that doesn't make sense. You may be mis-judging the difficulty of deciphering, as I can't see any clues as to how we should be trying to decipher it (like the title was a clue to using the Dewey system) | |
| Aug 26, 2019 at 19:29 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @bhooks That's a good question. The game wasn't played how it's supposed to be played, so the librarian only won in the sense that the narrator couldn't continue playing that game. It should be easier to solve the cipher than to guess the game though, even if it's a very very popular game. | |
| Aug 26, 2019 at 14:48 | comment | added | bhooks | Is this some sort of "game" where there are no turns, or one "player" can make 5 "moves" where only 1 response move is needed to win? | |

| Aug 26, 2019 at 7:16 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @Joe I see ;) The thing is, by far the hardest thing has already been solved, and it's only a couple steps from there to the solution. And they're your typical, everyday Puzzling SE steps, so I'm not sure if I can give any "mysterious" hint for them. | |
| Aug 25, 2019 at 22:24 | comment | added | Joe | We don't feel very close xD | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 21:54 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @bhooks You are very very very close, so probably a couple of days? I'll have to think of what clue should I give anyways | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 18:16 | comment | added | bhooks | @NudgeNudge how much longer to appeal for another hint? :D | |
| Aug 18, 2019 at 10:51 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @OmegaKrypton I considered adding it but the description says it's for puzzles where you must determine the winner of a game, which isn't really the case here I suppose. | |
| Aug 18, 2019 at 10:48 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @DqwertyC It is very important. | |

| Aug 14, 2019 at 17:17 | comment | added | NudgeNudge | @GentlePurpleRain It absolutely is a coincidence, but dang, that's eerie | |
| Aug 14, 2019 at 17:05 | history | became hot network question | |||
| Aug 14, 2019 at 16:43 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | Another candidate for the Weimar cipher: pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a326/… | |
| Aug 14, 2019 at 16:41 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | (admittedly, some of them are a stretch, but the Freemason's and Playfair jumped out at me right away) | |
| Aug 14, 2019 at 16:41 | comment | added | GentlePurpleRain | Not sure if this is coincidence, but there seems to be a "cipher" associated with each of the titles: Glenlivet Cipher Whisky, Cipher of Gramatica, Freemason's cipher, Rijndael (pronounced Rhine-doll), Playfair cipher, Weimar cipher | |
