Ok, a friend and I have been have been sending each other stupid/obnoxious messagaes, encoded in ord values (for no particular reason). His coworker wanted to see if I could decipher a message that was ord encoded many levels deep. This is the message he sent me.

6:58:52:57:58:52:57:58:52:57Simple enough to decode, but I'd like to see the solutions you guys can come up with to do it. Not counting placing the above code into a string, I got the algorithim down to about 3 lines (and then further down to one line, with obfuscation).
So, let's see how you guys do with it? Again, it's just ordinal values, done multiple times. I don't care if your solution is many lines of code, I just wanna see how everyone goes about it. I'll post mine after we've seen a few other ones.
Gordon, you're excluded since I already showed you my solution.
Alex, I'd be particularly interested to see your approach.
So let's see what everyone's got!
