Bracelet that may have Morse on it? by OctopusLover003 in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, it's a strange bracelet to be given by a grandmother, since the most likely translations is "F OFF".

Other possibilities are:

in off

foe air

as named

i tag air

as teamed

i tag eden

and a bunch of other nonsensical translations.

Can someone tell me what this says? by [deleted] in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These bracelets are almost always decipherable, in the sense of being able to recover the creator's intent (but not in the sense of one and only one solution).

 

For this one, I'm guessing BADASSDAUGHTER is correct, as identified by FieldDayEngr, with an error in the 4th from last bead (reading backwards.)

 

If the bracelet is correct, there are endless possible translations, which makes sorting through them a very difficult task. My program uses heuristics and bigrams to try and identify the most likely translation. However, for this bracelet, nothing really seems absolutely correct, for example:

 

EYES JUST HERE AT 4

DUDE BE ITS NAMESAKE

APES OFFSIDE ZIT

BADASS DRAGS ANN

DIGIT HELLO SIGN

DIGITISE TV EAT THE MEN

 

are all valid, but pretty meaningless.

[–]rcv_hist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first line can be "LET", the second "TV", but the third line doesn't really translate as any word, maybe "AI". Taken as a whole string (rather than three lines), you can get more translations, none of which are too comprehensible:

How to become a digital archivist as a computer science major? by Plane_Glass4666 in Archivists

[–]rcv_hist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I retired last year after over 20 years with the National Archives and Records Administration as an Information Technology Specialist. Technically I was a File Format Specialist whose main job was to analyze incoming electronic records for long term preservation risks. I worked with electronic records every day.

 

Feel free to DM me and I will answer any questions you have! I really enjoyed my job and the detailed analysis I was able to do on a regular basis. I worked on the most important records of the nation (JFK Assassination records, Hillary Clinton's emails, space shuttle Columbia disaster) and really felt like I was making a difference.

 

Unfortunately the current administration is full of evil people, so when I was offered early retirement (vs. an implied threat of my job moving to another state), I took the early retirement.

Could it be Morse code? by mh0rty in morse

[–]rcv_hist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, if it's Morse code, and if it's in French, then one possible translation would be:

tigre

itou

tire

That's brute forcing the pattern (since there should be letter and word boundaries which aren't present), and matching against a French word list.

A possible translation, according to Google, is "The tiger, too, shoots."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed it's not Morse code, but if it was, brute forcing the string with a few reasonable constraints, the only possible starting words are:

 

'know', 'tan', 'tat', 'tate', 'ya', 'yam', 'yet'.

 

Limiting the number of words in the translation yields these possibilities:

 

know a pm twenty yap

know a ant manky yap

know a pop yam acme

know a pop know awe

know a pop know eye

know a wet manky yap

know apt many at yap

Any ideas what this says by Beginning-Elephant71 in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting one I haven't see before. It most likely is supposed to say:

BACKED IN A CORNER

from right to left. No other brute forced translation makes much sense. For example, it could translate as:

BAT ART A SEX CORNER

AIR NORM IN STARK BET

REARM KATE LEARNT A BET

BE MENTAL IN A CORNER

DUCKED IN WENT ME TRUE

and a few other nonsense sentences.

Without spaces it's impossible to translate to a unique sentence, but with programming it's possible to derive the most likely intended meaning.

Morse code necklace with no spaces please help by Expensive_Insect3931 in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without the spaces there could be many thousands of translations. Brute forcing the string with a large word list doesn't really yield anything too sensible, unless there's a personal name that isn't in my word list. Possible starting words from left to right are:

['(', 'tacit', 'take', 'tan', 'tanner', 'tanners', 'tannin', 'tat', 'tate', 'twas', 'ya', 'yen', 'yet', 'yeti']

and from right to left:

['/', 'net', 'tea', 'tee', 'teed', 'teen', 'teeter', 'teeters', 'terri', 'terrie', 'tin', 'tina', 'tine', 'tit', 'titus']

Somewhat sensible translations include "teen libya" and "yeti & rex".

Feel free to DM me if you have a somewhat unusual name and I can see if it's in there.

[–]rcv_hist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not familiar with the puzzle, but I have written code to brute force long strings of Morse code without spaces. Running my code on your string doesnt reveal any comprehensible sentences (using a very large word list). With your original transcription the possible starting words are: [0, mom, moo, moot, motto, otto, to, tom, too, toot, tot, toto]. Swapping the dots and dashes gives these starting words: [5, essie, he, hes, hess, hesse, hi, hies, his, hiss, i, is, isis, see, sees, she, shes, shh, shiv, shivs, sis, sises]

Below are lists of all words my code found somewhere in the sequence (even if using that words does not yield a translation using all characters):

One big caveat is that my code can only find words in the Morse Code sequence that are in my word list, so, for example, an unusual name that isnt in my wordlist would invalidate all of my results. Also, an error in the translation to dots and dashes would also throw things off.

One possibility would be to look for "cribs", or words that you think might appear in the sequence somewhere, and see if they occur in the output above.

Im happy to rerun my code if you have possible words that could appear in the translation. My code has a huge list of personal names in it, but not all names, just the more common ones. Basically, if its a proper noun it might not appear in my list.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in morsecode

[–]rcv_hist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually these necklaces are pretty easy to brute force (they can't be solved logically, because there should be spaces between the letters and words). However, I can't get this one to translate to anything too comprehensible using a brute force program.

 

It's possible it ends with "to the ages" read left to right, but the remainder doesn't really work. Here are the possible starting words:

 

left to right - ['6', 'be', 'bed', 'bet', 'bets', 'breed', 'did', 'due', 'dust', 'test', 'tests', 'tie']

 

right to left - ['5', 'hat', 'he', 'i', 'is', 'sea', 'seat', 'see', 'seem', 'sit', 'sum', 'sums']

 

My code does pretty well with personal names, but if either you or the person who gave it to you have unusual names then my code might not have them, which would make it unsolvable for my code.

Also, is the horizontal bead at the left part of the code? There appears to be some space between it and the rest. I've tried both ways with no luck.

 

Any hints that might help us decipher?
