Here's a brain teaser for you freakshows:

BSRSLAPJUBWOEENO

hint: Julius Caesar

We'll start off with an easy one ;). First one to crack it gets a big cookie. If you guys can break this one then I'll make another thats more difficult.

L A P J
U B W O
E E N O

As Tido said, Caesar developed another cypher, using a 64 "bit" stream of letters... take the first 8 letters and make one row, then the next eight letters are the next row, and so on... you'll get an 8x8 box.... well Tido just did a 4x4 box :)

CAT with a caesar cypher of 2 = ECV (C,D,E)(A,B,C)(T,U,V). I tried to shift the first 5 letters of your word, and there is no comphrensible word that comes out of this. Are there other letters besides A-Z?

Come on now Janus, give me a little credit...you think I would pick the first thing that would come up on your search engine? (evil laugh) :P:P:empire: Even Caesar realized that the 'Caesar Cypher' would be easily cracked by his messangers taking his letters across the empire. So he came up with a different form of encryption...

Just the uppercase alphabetical letters Tido? If i'm correct in how the caesar cipher works, you shift according to a value to correspond with the letters, example
