Post Re: An excercise in diplomacy.
After the practice run proved faaaar too easy, I propose a serious challenge.

Decode the following text.

Quote:
4 things place even of the morning family which will be immense during the campus of place and it Pasteur project the thing which it will connect. What it examines this previously, the operation endurance the maintenance question which it gives inside meaning Yongin which will be different and morning, will connect, it or to give it will connect think. All relatives, in order to peel the dae (the entrance) the tax which diminished it it, the fundamental maximum of what kind of type it will peel inside our order and the office a l thing where the automatic systematic total will make the relationship of the vazhn the case which it ratifies, it will be incorrect and ten:00 bedspread it you whom it gives to this first thing, the tax which personal connection, as which thing defers all it is that to it and we which thing will be incorrect in the place which is ratified and it is necessary we make, The machinery where the goods life which it aims lately is different it respects and you it believes that it agrees to peel and it processed it is to be peeled conveniently because of extreme and be by us it this it falls it solves and when respect day doing, with the thing and the thing of our 1 things which be to peel sniffily connects your he inside possibility of the friend is together guaranteed in lower part.


That is EXACTLY what I got after feeding the original text through various languages.

For shits and giggles, I cycled it through Korean four times, as Korean seems to be especially good at messing up meanings.

HAVE FUN GUYS.

THIS CONTEST IS FOR A CC KEY.

IF ANYONE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSLATES IT, YOU GET A CC KEY, FREE OF CHARGE.

This contest is now officially for a CC key.

So, yeah, you're entitled to try it as many times as you want. I'll stop the contest once/if someone gets it.

Consider this one a practice run, because there's no way I'm giving out a CC key for getting it that fast.


aww, that makes me a little sad.
i already have a key, though, so : P

this new one sounds like it could be something legal, with all the "ratification" and "taxation"... a portion of the Constitution or Declaration of Independence, perhaps?

I'm guessing it's the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independance.

It seems too short, but a phrase in there reminded me of the preamble to the Constitution.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It's not.

Believe me, when I say obscure, I mean ♥♥♥♥ obscure.

I have been dropping hints in IRC, but I haven't linked to anything actually relevant.

I have the full, original text available to me anytime I'm in my browser. You're on a good track when you came up with the legality, but I'm afraid that it's not going to be direct copypasta from anything you're aware of.

If I were doing copypasta, it'd be from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Adress, anyways.

how obscure is it? i mean, is it, like, part of your birth certificate or the contract for your home loan or something?

I just looked at it for the first time a few minutes ago, and I had that same impression; that it was a legal document(I originally was reminded of the Declaration and Constitution), perhaps the Magna Carta(or a part of it).

However, there are also reasons to think that it is of a religious nature.

I'll post here if I get any other ideas...

Is it an instruction manual of some sort?

Maybe a warranty?
