Why, it's elementary my dear 74851687! (Posted on 2009-02-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
NEVER is prime,
NOW is too!
SHE is not,
Unlike YOU!

Where are we?

Riddle Me This | Comment 4 of 12 |

I also found a pile of possibilities, and thought that those ten letters might help -- I considered DR WATSON to match the eight digits, but if a simple substitution cipher the "7" on each end should be the same letter.  Also, I was not sure whether "unlike YOU!" could/should be regarded as saying YOU was a prime.

As the propounder says (another clue??) "WHERE ARE WE?" Since someone decided to categorize this under "RIDDLES" perhaps this is not even a decoding puzzle at all.  If it is genuine, I would think that question points to the decoded number as a physical location, though his title suggests a sobriquet (e.g "my dear fellow" or the like).  Perhaps the ravenous "Nevermore"...
