cheekymonkey Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 We chose our wedding rings last night and they are being custom made. We are going to get the insides of the rings engraved with a message. I'm going for: 4A 53 · 4B DB FB A0 · 42 4E 56 C0 · C0 06 4B D9 But I suspect Shelley will go for something more traditional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Erm nope! Plus there are no months 19 or 14 anyway hehe! How did you get to that? I must also say there's no trickery involved, all the information is encoded in "standard" ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must also say there's no trickery involved, all the information is encoded in "standard" ways. Thats what we came up with. Here are the workings... Date: 10/19/2011 2:14 22 11 J is the 10th letter in the alphabet S is the 19th letter in the alphabet K is the 11th letter in the alphabet jsk = 10/19/11 OR 10/19/2011 Time: B is the 2nd letter in the alphabet N is the 14th letter in the alphabet 2:14 Location: V&K - Possibly a bar name or some venue name Americans do theirs different to ours. Some people use the differnt date format 10/19/2011 - M/D/Y 19/10/2011 - D/M/Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Spot on for the first part (JS) J for James and S for Shelley however the encoding is different for the rest. Sounds like it kept you busy for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about 42 4E 56 C0? Actually, I've been thinking about it and I am probably going to remove the last separator dot so it would look like 4A 53 · 4B DB FB A0 · 42 4E 56 C0 C0 06 4B D9 I'm sure someone will get it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
