Both spelling are off from your simple encryption, but thoes are the only two spelling I could find. What key did you use for your encryption, it seems like a circle style where each letter is 11 off from the other.

I used the simplest encryption there is, ROT 13. The reason its simple is that there is no backwards and forwards for encryption. Since English has 26 letters, going 13 in either direction flips back and forth. So my hopefuls clues of "ROTting" and "simple encryption" were hoping to steer people into googling. Googling "simple encryption", the 3rd hit is about ROT 13. I did flip all the letters into reverse order too just to mess things up a bit more, but I was hoping that I made the question look a little like a pinball display and I left the colon in so it would be on the wrong side of a space as well hoping to clue into the reverse nature..

Anyway, here's an online ROT 13 conversion page: http://www.faqintosh.com/risorse/en/oth ... pps/rot13/

And here's the name regular and encrypted:

In case the deafening silence wasn't an indication, incorrect. :P
