You meant this, didn't you?

I don't really get this answer.... You can describe what the answer's supposed to be like in words you know...

Never really thought of c-square's answer... actually makes sense, but not the right one!

Actually

Spoiler:

I've simply drawn a square with two lines. It's just a play with words.

I don't get it.  The puzzle was to:

Draw a square with two lines (EXACTLY 2 lines!!)

I'd understand how it'd be a play on words if it didn't say "exactly".  However, there are many more than exactly two lines in Callid's answer.

It's a square with exactly two lines. (There's a square, and there are two other lines!)

Ahh..  Nice!

Can anyone solve this?

My cryptoanalytic program can't do it.
However, this may be because the text is simply too short (that's also the reason I can't solve it myself) and we don't know the method. A analyse of frequencies will not work with such a short text (that's the reason I provided a whole page^^). If you post another - let's say - 100 letters, I will think about it again^^

I can't tell you more words. But here are some clues:
First clue:

Spoiler:

It is a sentence we all may have heard...

Second clue:

Spoiler:

Okay it's in Japanese.

Third clue:

Spoiler:

You can find this sentence in a Conan Movie.

Fourth clue:

Spoiler:

Conan Movie 4

Fifth clue:

Spoiler:

Conan said it.

Sixth clue:

Spoiler:

Conan said it to Ran.

Only click this if you are really desperate:

Spoiler:

2.Nine dots are arranged in a three by three square. Connect each of the nine dots using only four straight lines and  
   without lifting your pen from the paper
3.Make 5 rows a la 4 dots with only 10 dots all together.

2.

Spoiler:

The dots are located at 1|1 to 3|3.
Solution:
3|3 - 1|1 - 1|4 - 4|1 - 1|1

4.

Spoiler:

It's

Spoiler:

Shinjitsu wa itsumo hitotsu!

right?

(AND I DEMAND A COOKIE IF I'M RIGHT :3

OK, you get a cookie (*gives cookie*) - but for abusing being unable to spell this important sentence, I demand one from YOU - as solatium!

BTW, how many hints did you need? And you, Mouri Rann? It's just because I want to know if you solve those codes without many before I post more difficult ones^^

I don't get the 3rd question.  Whats is 'a la'?
I don't get the second question's answer! What is:

Spoiler:

1|1 to 3|3

?
I didn't need any clues, it was just too easy. (as I'm Japanese)

I think I know it without doing any cryptanalytic work^^
Just after the fourth hint. I'll try to prove it and find the Japanese text, but without Japanese knowledge, it's not possible...

Spoiler:

However, I'd like you to give me the original Japanese phrase Conan says to Ran at the very end of the movie; the famous "confession" ("Because I love you etc.")

I don't get the 3rd question.  Whats is 'a la'?
I don't get the second question's answer! What is:

Spoiler:

1|1 to 3|3

?
I didn't need any clues, it was just too easy. (as I'm Japanese)

5 rows with 4 dots per row/ a length of 4 dots (so, if you wrote them all separately, you'd need 20 dots).

Think of it like in a mathematical Cartesian coordinate system. (1|1) is one unit to the right and one up from (0|0), (3|3) is three to the right and three up, and (1|3) is one to the right and three up. I simply used it because I don't need any graphic this way^^

Spoiler:

Now connect the points if given you in order with straight lines.

Well, in this case try the second one of my new ones (viewtopic.php?p=73208#p73208).

You know, you were right.
Okay this is the ans:

Spoiler:

That 'confession' was the answer! And the quote is,"好ã

Anyway, have you tried mine?

Those are gonna take so long*.*

There's also still my [iurl=viewtopic.php?p=71723#p71723]palendrome question[/iurl] that no-one's answered yet.
