Decoding Puzzle

[brad.dude03]

All you math guys out there should have fun with this. This piece of text has been encoded using 4 steps. When decoded it is equal to the 5 lines in the song 'pop goes the weasel'. I wont give you any more information, except that you need a knowledge of ASCII values and other such things if you want to attempt this. It's pretty easy once you figure out how it's encoded If people can't get anywhere then I'll gradually give you guys some hints
The encoded text is attached. When properly decoded it should have spaces in between and all. Enjoy

what the fuck! i could never

 

[brad.dude03]

Like I said this is for the math fans only XD

 

[Bob27]

Yea well I got a A in maths, because they've been teaching us the same thing in maths for the last few years, so I think I might pass this.

 

[brad.dude03]

Well good luck indeed then.

 

[Afronight_76]

whats the point, we already know the answer and nobody really knows how to do this.

 

[HappyTauren]

well THATS th point!
man its like mm7! in one quest you had to discipher some script, and i had to cheat!

 

[brad.dude03]

The point of this is to FIND OUT HOW to get from one step to the other. You know how it starts, you know how it ends, but what the hell is in between? You can show off your leet knowledge of how number systems work and earn some rep at the same time. I'm almost positive there are people capable of it on here as I managed to do it and i'm not in the least inclined towards math whatsoever. It was a computer sciences project of mine that I found both challenging and enjoyable at the same time, so I decided to share to see if anyone could do it as well. Malufa would have volunteered immediately were he here.... unlike some people.

 

[HappyTauren]

...and than Malufa start spamming on all wc3 communities: "YAY I SOLVED THE CIPHER! YAY!"

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, that's if he were here. If not someone else will have to take it up in his stead? Have I any takers or are you all chicken?
