How do you decode a Ottendorf Cipher?

Answer 1

ANSWER: Well you have to find the book or text that correspondes with the Cipher. Then there should be three numbers separated by a hyphen, (-).

EX)

Book Text: The people of the village are going to live on forever.

Their ways can never be copied.

Decode: 1-5-2 2-4-1

1-5-4 2-6-2 2-4-3 1-1-3

The first number is the line on that page. The second number is the word in that line. The third number is the letter in that word. This is on'y for a one page text

If you have a book that your using to decode the cipher, then you use the first number as the page in the book, the second number is the line on that page, and the third number is the first letter of that word on that page. Hopefully this helps. This is also fun to do with your friends so you can pass secret notes, but it does take a while to decode if it's a long message.
