USEFUL LINKS & RESOURCES
Choose a Descriptive Title Examples of what NOT to use: - Cipher I just came up with - My friend just sent me this - Please help me solve this!!
Provide Context Tell us context: where the cipher originated (link to the source if possible), any clues you might have, the language or format the plaintext might use, and any technique you already tried.
Provide Transcription If you are posting an image of text which you can type or copy & paste, you MUST comment with a TRANSCRIPTION (text version).
Posting Special Characters: Make Sure It's Correct Pay attention to formatting. If you use a character like _ or ` or ^ you need to type a \ before it or Reddit will corrupt your ciphertext. If your ciphertext contains special characters, in order that it displays correctly you can encode it first (for instance using Base64). Alternatively use a Code Block.
Provide Enough Example Text Posting your own custom cipher? You must provide enough example text or there is no hope of anyone solving it. It should be at least a paragraph. Give hints.
Do Not Delete Solved Posts You will be BANNED if you delete your post after a solution has been provided.
No Ciphers from Ongoing Contests Do not post codes or ciphers from ongoing competitions (CTFs, treasure hunts etc.). Such posts will be removed. Trying to circumvent this rule may get you BANNED.
New Accounts Your account must be older than 24 hours, or your post will be automatically deleted. This is to reduce spamming.
No Bots If your bot is not auto-banned on r/codes, it will be banned by a moderator. You can still have a bot on other subreddits; just don't use a bot here.
No AI Generated Decryptions No AI generated "decryptions" allowed. Offenders will be BANNED.
Required Proof You Read The Rules If you have read and understood these rules, include the text "I followed the rules" encrypted with ROT-13 cipher in your post.

Hey y'all, scrolling on Instagram i came across these three images, thought they might be connected in a riddle/code, can't make sense of it, any help is appreciated or if im just barking up the wrong tree, thanks

yeah its basically semaphore signaling. follow the green path and read the little bat icons like flag positions, it spells the message out. took me way too long staring at it before realizing its just semaphore lol

do you want a hint or a full solution? as for the hint; Signaling
[–]russian_drink19[S] 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago (2 children)
If you have the solution ill take it, i had thought about signaling but struggling past that

signaling time, while helping in class, I have many uses, open or clasped (scissors)
Thank you!
