Er...what's the puzzle?

Do you want us to add up those numbers?  Guess what the next number on
the list would be?  Arrange them in alphabetical order?

Give us a hint, if you can.

Thank you for looking at this puzzle.  Unfortunately, no parameters to
the puzzle were given to me. I do not have any idea of where to start.
 The puzzle was in an email and the numbers were all on the right side
of the page as I listed them.  I do not know if that means something
or not.  I am going to try to find out some more info on the puzzle,
if I do I will add it to this post.

What has me puzzled is how you managed to get all
the numbers aligned on the right side of the page.

Getting them aligned was the easy part, solving it is going to be the
hard part.  Any ideas?

I am thinking if you add the individual numbers together, such as 325
= 10, 828 = 18, and so on, it turns the puzzle into a letter/number
cryptogram.  The numbers would be:


10 18 18 8 11 9	12 11 15 16 12 21 7 15 9 6 15 10 17 12 8 13 12 7 16 20 17 11 8 7

None of the numbers are over 26 and it is random.  I think this might
be the way to solve this.  But I could be wrong.  Any help is
appreciated.  I need to solve this by Friday 12:00 EST.

I dont know but try punching in the set of numbers separately onto a
old calculator and inverting the calculator to see if it spells
something.MAYBE after you done that it might give you a clue.

Easy!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Yes lining 'em up is also EASY!

How did you solve for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

Just a guess?

How? 

I used the Cheltenham Attack Strategy 477.v3 with Fort Meade
algorithms from their ?Axel? Suite. As you may know, these are
routinely used to evaluate all unusual messages, some of which may
have been encrypted. Over 200 possible solutions were identified but
the ?Rudolph? solution was preferred because of its seasonal nature.
The details are, of course, classified. However, for your own peace of
mind, I suggest that you assume the ?wild guess? proposition.

A Merry Festive!

Probono,
Good to see that you haven't lost your sense of humour.  ;)  How's Daisy?
I have been cranking my old Enigma device all day, and you are right,
but it is German:  Rudolf, das rotnaesige Renntier
It actually was all run together without the spaces.  I don't know if
that was the practice in WW II, but maybe the person encoding the text
also didn't know whether or how to include spaces.

And a very merry fest to you, Myo
