This cipher is a transposition cipher. It is in the basic rectangle form with columns transposed, and it is slightly harder than the previous cipher:

TNESFMA-PITRWNU-ORGRATP-RTTRDHE-BNATSGH-OTOCETE-DS%NHOE-ERSGAMO-NWT%SEF-IMTORNE-SCHI%PL-AOOAFAB-LOOIT%O-EMNSNCP-EYLMTU%-STEETTR-HEHVBHT-%ITSOIP-YYXAEIS-I%

I am doing a project at school where I research a topic for a year, and then give a presentation about it. My topic of research is Codes and Ciphers, which is why I am doing this contest. If you have any questions, or would like to know more, please email them to the address above, and I will try to answer them as quickly as possible.
