Hello! I'm bored out of my mind and have nothing much better to do at the moment so I'm just going to set up a code and see if anybody is able to figure it out. I will give the hint that it relies on a mathematical principle and is famous for being utilized in the exchange of private information over the internet and probably even more famous for sending codes in war. If you can say the method too, I'll be impressed as well even if you don't get it.

Good luck!!

I'm gonna say, probably Morse code, I don't know it though

Is it a Pythagorean Triple?

Luxtena (US1) said:Is it a Pythagorean Triple?
but what does it say ? I tried that as a cipher but all I got was gibberish so either I got the math wrong or it really is all just gibberish ....

It's not a Pythagorean triple. If any were, it was completely by accident. Also I don't know morse code, always thought it would be a cool thing to learn but never had patience.
It's actually the decoding method that Alan Turing used to break the German code in World War II. So history buffs should have fun with that one, but if you're like me, you may want to google that.

It's become rather obvious that I have allowed this to be a drawn out endeavor Was wanting to allow ample time for people to attempt it, but enough is enough I suppose.
The method to solving the code is by using modulation which is finding the remainder of a number when it is divided by another. So for example, 3mod4=1 because you get # with remainder of 1when dividing 4 by 3.
So to create a code with this method alphabetically, you just simply label the letters with numbers. You can technically start with any number going up. I chose to start at 1=A, then went up as 2=B, 3=C,..., 26=Z. So it is important that you set the number you are dividing by as greater than 27 so you can have a number of remainders up to 26 for the entire alphabet.
Now, that I have told you the method. It is important to realize what number I was using to divide by, which I did give you all. If I hadn't, there would've been no way for you to get it. The first number in set that I gave special notation (:) after was the number in which to divide by. Any space with that number is simply an empty spot or space.
If you want to try and solve it now, you may. However; I'm going to go ahead and post the final result so those just curious can see it. Also so you can double check your answer if you think you got it. Hope this was more enjoyable than painful.

I kept all letters at the same number to make an attempt at the whole nice thing.
