Understandable, it is using the "american standard code for information interchange", not the australian one ;)

Know where you're going doesn't matter if you still don't know how to get there. How many people can count in hex? I figured that would be the stumper for most people and that mentioning ASCII wouldn't be a big deal.

True, but you google the thing and you get a lookup table, no need to know how to count in hex then, just find the match.

I used my Little Orphan Annie decoder pin.  It told me the release date then it told me to drink my Ovaltine! ;)

I won't tell you what it says, but I'll tell you how to figure it out without beeking a geek! :)

Here's the code you want to crack:


--- Code: ---54686520466c6967687420596f6b652052656c65
61736520646174652069732053657074656d6265
7220313074682c2032303035
--- End code ---

Here's an exed-out version of the sentence from jerryjanis' post:


--- Code: ---xxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxx, xxxx
--- End code ---

It's simple substitution.  The first thing I figured out was that "20" = "space" which is pretty obvious from comparing the code to the exed-out sentence.   

The other bit of information you have to work with is that the message will tell you the flight yoke release date.   With those 4 things, you should be able to crack the code in no time.... at least the vast majority of it and then one important specific character can be easily deduced.

Have fun! :)
