i can tell you that you have to wrap the paperstrip around the stick to be able reading the code.

Since its almost weekend, i found some time to create the puzzle and still have some sponsored bundle-games lying around:
here comes another puzzle! \o/
Some really basic math might come in handy. Nothing fancy here. both, Math and GAs, dont be upset^^
You found a long paperstrip with apperantly some random characters on it.
Directly besides the paperstrip you found a suspicious stick with a circular area of 5538,96mm².
Every character takes 65,94mm of space.
If you do some calculations do it with only two decimals in every case.
Solution
witht the given circular area A you can determine the radius r of the circle(stick) (turns out i took 42mm for it,..because 42^^). With the radius you can determine the scope of the stick (263, 76mm). Further you know that one letter takes 65,94mm of space. That means exactly every 4 letters you made it around the stick. => every 4 characters you have a new row of characters.
DrBatmanPhD made this nice table as solution: http://puu.sh/usqDv/2e82ba8fa7.png
The whole cipher is based on the oldest military-encryption we know and the whole encrypted text was -The-Code:Wkd2o G L & H F
