Ok, I have gotten all the way to 56, and am stuck.

How is it encoded?

I have tried ROT, Base64, HEX, and DES using what I assumed to be the key at the bottom. All I need to know is where I should start when trying to decode this, frmo there I should be able to figure it out on my own.

are you sure you're in the right forum? RoR 56 doesn't need any decoding... :)
