Amateurs, I'll show you how it's done.

Because Why not?

-Baconus

(Answer coming some time later)

Based on a numeric substitution cipher, we get 15/9/54/2/24/57/21/63/12. Note that all numbers except 2 are divisible by 3, so do that and exclude the 2, leaving 5/3/18/8/19/7/21/4. Decrypting this back gives ECRHSGUD which doesn't anagram to anything. However, remembering that the number 3 seems to hold some importance, decrypting this based on a Caesar cipher with key 3 gives BZOEPDRA, rearranging to ZebraPod, the new portable music listening device from Gabriel Interactive.

You are actually the closest so far.

Also, it seems like I have a small error in my code.
It should be O/I/ED/C/X/EG/U/FC/L instead of O/I/ED/B/X/EG/U/FC/L. I knew I messed up somewhere. You also missed a step, and did a step wrong. But you are close.

The reason no one got it is because everyone kept guessing thirteen. I am sorry for the typo. It crossed over my head.

Well now I'm mad because I have to dedicate time to it again. Can you provide a hint? When you said I did a step wrong it was referring to something other than ignoring the B, right? That wasn't really a legitimate error.
