Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
"I Can Catch Him"
John, a local football star, is jogging down the street when he sees a building on fire.
A lady is standing on a third story ledge holding her pet cat in her arms.
"Hey, lady," yells John, "Throw me the cat."
"No," she cries, "It's too far."
"I play (USA) football, I can catch him."
The smoke is pouring from the windows, and finally, the woman waves to John, kisses her cat goodbye, and tosses it down to the street.
John keeps his eye on the cat as it comes hurtling down toward him. The feline bounces off an awning and John runs into the street to catch it. He jumps six feet into the air and makes a spectacular one handed catch. The crowd that has gathered to watch the fire breaks into cheers.
John does a little victory dance, lifting the cat above his head, wiggling his knees back and forth, and then spikes the cat into the pavement.

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
I say it's code and that Jack will have it figured out within half an hour of seeing it.

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
You'd lose that bet - there are a few too many types of things (and a few too many specifics under each type) of what it might be for me to run through them effectively in the allotted time.
Some samples of possibilities:
1) Each grouping could stand for a single letter, in which case (for out purposes) it is an unbreakable one time pad.
2) The groupings could be a distraction, and it's just 36 letters scrambled in a particular fasion.
3) The groupings could be a distraction, and it's a simple letter-code which then can be broken into words by adding spaces at appropriet locations
4) it could be coding for a small ASCII picture when arranged in a particular fasion (36 letters can be evenly arrayed out into 1x36, 2x18, 3x12, 4x9, 6x6, 9x4, 12x3, 18x2, or 36x1). If the spaces are meaningful, then there are 47 or 48 characters to deal with (47 is prime, and can be discounted for picture purposes).
5) it is possible some set of symbols needs to be filtered out to get the message
6) it could be random garbage
7) it could be padded with random garbage
8) something I'm not thinking of at the moment
9) it could be a specific, used form of encryption
10) it could be an idiot code, where each segment means something long
11) a variation on the above
12) just about any combination of the above
Without a much larger sample size and/or further data, no algorythm will produce better results than guessing or exhaustive search (algorythms specifically designed for a type that the code just happens to be count as guessing, as they eliminate the other types by random chance of being that particular algorythm).

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
Bob, a 70 year old extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful 25 year-old who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal as she drapes herself over Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word.
His buddies at the club are all aghast. They corner him and ask, "Bob, how'd you get the trophy girlfriend?"
Bob replies, "Girlfriend?! She's my wife!"
They're knocked over, but continue to ask. "So, how'd you persuade her to marry you?"
Bob says, "I lied about my age."
His friends respond, "What do you mean? Did you tell her you were only 50?"
Bob smiles and says, "No, I told her I was 90."

I give up. I spent about 3 hours trying to figure it out and I have no idea what it means.
