Uh-oh!

I encoded another message, but I don't know what it says...

Here's the message:

65, 64, 336, 585, 854, 1342, 1404, 1717, 608, 2231, 928, 3100, 3589, 4961, 1376, 5029, 5353, 5959, 6832, 7705, 2272, 7957, 9559, 2656, 9078, 11058, 10605, 10403, 11770, 10900, 12995, 4064, 12707, 16303, 13483, 18029

This time I was confident that I would remember how to decode it--I even wrote down a hint for myself, but I think there's a problem in it:

The corrupted hint

It must have been corrupted...

Hint:

I think there's a problem in it

The encoded message is:

A puzzle a day keeps my friends away

The encoded numbers are too large to be ASCII directly, so I assumed they were ASCII values multiplied by another sequence. The divisor sequence turned out to be the prime numbers in order, with an extra 1 added at the beginning:

65 / 1 = 65 = A
64 / 2 = 32 = space
336 / 3 = 112 = p
585 / 5 = 117 = u
854 / 7 = 122 = z
.
.
.

Continuing this for every number gives:

A puzzle a day keeps my friends away

  • $\begingroup$ Nice first answer. What's the image about, then? $\endgroup$ Commented 13 hours ago
  • $\begingroup$ @bobble I suppose I'll wait before I mark this as correct... $\endgroup$ Commented 13 hours ago
  • $\begingroup$ I guess it should be "Prime" to refer division of the ASCII values. $\endgroup$ Commented 5 hours ago
