Code Book Cipher Cracked
AssFace writes: "The Code Book challenge -- I believe 10,000 pounds was the reward for it, and it consisted of 10 stages of increasing difficulty that mimicked the evolution of cryptography throughout history -- was cracked and there is a fantasitc description all at http://www.simonsingh.com/. Goodbye Simon Singh." It's a cool read, too -- both Singh's own writeup, and that of the Swedes who broke the cipher. Congratulations to the winners.
