Code #1

Observations

83 characters composed of numbers and symbols. You’ll need to look for a split.

[hint] . – [/hint]

Spoiler

With a string like that, there as to be a character that is use as a split. Having a closer look at the string you can see that the longest sequence of consecutive numbers is 0332220. If zero is used as a split point we are left with 33222 which is 5 bits and fits number coding in morse. Split at 0 and numbers are dot, symbols are dashes

`4$`	`.-`
`$4`	`-.`
`6$$6`	`.--.`
`33222`	`.....`
`*&`	`--`
`6^$^`	`.---`
`4$64`	`.-..`
`%^55`	`--..`
`4$`	`.-`
`(&9`	`--.`
`79&8`	`..-.`
`%6%$`	`-.--`
`(&98`	`--..`
`(`	`-`
`&9`	`--.-`
`%$66`	`--..`
`*9`	`-.`
`$^`	`--`
`^55`	`-..`
`%6^^`	`-.--`

The full morse string is

.- -. .--. ..... -- .--- .-.. --.. .- --. ..-. -.-- --.. - --.- --.. -. -- -.. -.--

Convert morse to text

We now have 20 characters containing one number. Could be Base64 but we need to figure out which letters are capital and lowercase

Look at the how the strings are made. If you convert symbols to numbers, notice how each digit in a group follows a range

123 are numbers
456 are lowercase
789 are capital

Code #2

Observations

Symbols followed by numbers, the split points are obvious

[hint]Codes should come out during Prime time…[/hint]

Spoiler

Split at symbols and replace them with their respective numbers on the keyboard

379 19 271 1597 4129 5939 23 509 523 1627 13 53 7 379 353

All those numbers are prime numbers. Using this list get their position. Note that your count should start at 0 not 1.

`379`	`74`
`19`	`7`
`271`	`57`
`1597`	`250`
`4129`	`567`
`5939`	`779`
`23`	`8`
`509`	`96`
`523`	`98`
`1627`	`257`
`13`	`5`
`53`	`15`
`7`	`3`
`379`	`74`
`353`	`70`

A long list of scientists

Spoiler

Split at every scientist name and count the number of characters for each of them.
