  I am officially stumped. by narfy2002-07-20 16:14:45
    my work by nok 2002-07-20 20:46:36
This is my first post and I'm not sure how much of this is redundant, but I thought i might try and help anyway. Here is my interpretation of the hints :
"1. Combine the three in order "
I take this to mean that the three different paragraphs should be put together word by word. This would be a good reason why all three are the same length.

"2. $lengthline = length($anysection)/4"

This is further proof that i may be on the correct path with the last clue, because this equation holds true when you combine the three paragraphs and replace the tripple-words with a single character.

"3. The characters are 'A', 'L', 'W'"
I dont know. I was hoping that there would be three different configurations of the characters when they are combined, but alas there are only two so it would appear that i am wrong.

Anyway, here is what I've gotten if its of any use to any one :

FPSSWARYTOOL PLAYHEROLOSE CASHFREEDORK PLAYHEROLOSE FPSSWARYTOOL EVILDULLJERK MIKEPITRSTEF PLANCALMDUMB DULLEVILJERK
PLANCALMDUMB GEEKTIMEGOOF PITRMIKESTEF MIKEPITRSTEF DULLEVILJERK CASHFREEDORK PLAYHEROLOSE PLAYHEROLOSE PITRMIKESTEF
DEADGAMEZERO CASHFREEDORK PLAYHEROLOSE CALMPLANDUMB CODEBOMBFOOL CALMPLANDUMB CASHFREEDORK MIKEPITRSTEF MIKEPITRSTEF
GOOFGEEKTIME CODEBOMBFOOL FPSSWARYTOOL GAMEDEADZERO EVILDULLJERK CODEBOMBFOOL PLAYHEROLOSE PLAYHEROLOSE CALMPLANDUMB
CODEBOMBFOOL DEADGAMEZERO PLANCALMDUMB WINSDARKSCUM CASHFREEDORK FPSSWARYTOOL PLAYHEROLOSE CASHFREEDORK GAMEDEADZERO
TRAPABLEVILE GAMEDEADZERO PLANCALMDUMB CASHFREEDORK GEEKTIMEGOOF BOMBCODEFOOL MIKEPITRSTEF GOOFGEEKTIME DULLEVILJERK
CODEBOMBFOOL GEEKTIMEGOOF CASHFREEDORK GOOFGEEKTIME TRAPABLEVILE CODEBOMBFOOL GAMEDEADZERO PITRMIKESTEF BOMBCODEFOOL
WINSDARKSCUM CASHFREEDORK GAMEDEADZERO CALMPLANDUMB PLANCALMDUMB PLAYHEROLOSE PLANCALMDUMB GEEKTIMEGOOF DEADGAMEZERO

Replace each tripleword with one character and get this :
ABCBADEFGFHIEGCBBIJCBKLKCEEMLANDLBBKLJFOCABCNPNFCHQEMGLHCMPLNIQOCNKFBF
HJ

With a frequency that looks like this :

FPSSWARYTOOL = A 4
PLAYHEROLOSE = B 9
CASHFREEDORK = C 9
EVILDULLJERK = D 2
MIKEPITRSTEF = E 5
PLANCALMDUMB = F 6
DULLEVILJERK = G 3
GEEKTIMEGOOF = H 4
PITRMIKESTEF = I 3
DEADGAMEZERO = J 3
CALMPLANDUMB = K 4
CODEBOMBFOOL = L 6
GOOFGEEKTIME = M 3
GAMEDEADZERO = N 5
WINSDARKSCUM = O 2
TRAPABLEVILE = P 2
BOMBCODEFOOL = Q 2

Or, if you want to assume that its the same letter regardless of the order of the three words you get this :

ABCBADEFDFHEEDCBBEJCBFLFCEEHLAJDLBBFLJFOCABCJPJFCHLEHDLHCHPLJELOCJFFBF
HJ


FPSSWARYTOOL = A 4
PLAYHEROLOSE = B 9
CASHFREEDORK = C 9
EVILDULLJERK = DULLEVILJERK = D 5
MIKEPITRSTEF = PITRMIKESTEF = E 8
PLANCALMDUMB = CALMPLANDUMB = F 10
GEEKTIMEGOOF = GOOFGEEKTIME = H 7
DEADGAMEZERO = GAMEDEADZERO = J 8
CODEBOMBFOOL = BOMBCODEFOOL = L 8
WINSDARKSCUM = O 2
TRAPABLEVILE = P 2

And, thats about as far as I got on my useless word games.
