Not at the above coords, but within 6 kilometres, as the crow
flies.
This is an extremely difficult challenge, and to make matters
worse, there do not appear to be any web links that tell you how to
do this one. You might have to resort to reading books!
A brain teaser to while away the wet months. This is a VERY hard
puzzle and you may have to resort to research beyond the internet
to solve it. I will give it six months to see if anyone can crack
it before I relent and give out any hints on how to solve it.
You will need certain information to succeed:
- Message starts with a 5 letter Indicator Group
- One-letter words are ignored
- Repeat words are ignored.
- Grass is left over and discarded.
- Letters assigned alphabetically.
- Double Transposition on the same key
REMEMBER - all the above instructions only tell you how to encrypt
the message NOT how to decode it. When you have found the
transposition key, try coding a message of your own and then work
out how the key is altered to make it a DECRYPTION key. - Good
Luck!
