LOL! Not the answer I had in mind, though

Re: Friday Puzzle -- Decode this

Alex,

You really need to post more complex riddles. I think it is quite apparent that DYJ (Divergent Y-Z plane Joules) which is assigned a constant if somewhat divergent value of 41,111,111,107 divided by JJJ (Jacobian Joint Juxtaposition) which is variable but since 1867 has had the value of 1,111,111,111 = 37 which is the resulting W (Wavelength. Easy as falling out of bed.

Close, but no cigar!

Clarification and hint

Hopefully, this puzzle is "fair". I have to admit that I made it up of whole cloth when I realized that I didn't have a puzzle to post this morning.

Take the above at face value; there is no hint hidden in it.

Clarification:

In the puzzle, only the letters are code. The number 37 and the division and equals signs are exactly what they appear to be.

Hint:

The letters are the result of a two-layer coding, with two separate and distinct coding algoritms.

I can't beat Tom's answer

Hint #2

Obviously, this is not such a good puzzle if this crew is needing too many hints!

The second coding algorithm (and first one to apply in reverse to decode) is a simple letter shift, such as converting my first name to "Doha" by shifting each letter three places further into the alphabet. AbcD, LmnO, etc.

The first algorithm is not a simple substitution.

Obviously (I think?) both algorithms are completely reversible.

Final hint

of a not-so-great puzzle.

The alphabet shift algorithm is only a one-letter shift. To spell it out even further, the puzzle reduces to either

CXI / III = 37, and asking about V or

EZL / KKK = 37, and asking about X

Oh, well (answer)

5

Thanks for being test subjects. Obviously a puzzle that doesn't "work".

What I had in mind was:

DYJ / JJJ = 37

is a one-letter shift from

CXI / III = 37

which is Roman numerals for

111 / 3 = 37

And following the same two transformations of W gives you W -> V -> 5.

Thanks again for trying, and I'll go back to tried-and-true puzzles for next time.
