Chris - I REALLY hope you don't mind but I've put your puzzle onto a dedicated puzzle site. Your puzzle has been driving me *cRazY* & I really want to know the solution. :D

Here is where I've put it (I'm MoonHunter):

I've enjoyed playing with it but I don't know if I can solve it. I'm still stumped! (Where did you find this puzzle?!!) I've come up with a few possible pointers though:

1) The first clue could mean: "my name" has no vowels bar 1. That is, A=1.
2) The 2nd clue "3 is a nice number, especially in tennis terms" could mean: 3 = love in tennis terms, that is, 3 = space. (I suspect it's space not zero as the numbers seem to represent letters.)
3) The 3rd clue in txt talk could mean: Omit all the 2's.
4) The term "key" is used in cryptography for encoding a message. H=17 & S=7 could relate to one of the techniques used. (Lots of info about this on Wikipedia.)
5) The clue "mirror mirror" could indicate some sort of reversal during the decoding, eg, reverse the order of the letters, or count from the end rather than the start of the alphabet, or work backward in some other way.
6) The spaces might be part of the code rather than things to be just skipped. (See (2) above.)
7) In real life all UK telephone numbers, including mobiles, have 11 digits. The mobile number is: BDH EJRUFHD. Ignoring the space and putting H=17 gives us at least 12 digits so this can't be just the obvious substitution of letters for numbers, or else the H=17 doesn't apply to the mobile number. Or perhaps this is one of the places where "2" is omitted.

Does all this make things better or worse? Maybe I've dug the hole even deeper!:D

Answer 2

H=17,
S=7,
B=0,
D=8
T (Tennis Terms???)=3
