Sculptor Gives a Hint For CIA's Kryptos

omega_cubed writes "The New York Times reports that Jim Sanborn, the sculptor who created the wavy metal pane called Kryptos that sits in front of the CIA in Langley, VA, has gotten tired of waiting for code-breakers to decode the last of the four messages. 'I assumed the code would be cracked in a fairly short time,' [Sanborn] said, adding that the intrusions on his life from people who think they have solved his fourth puzzle are more than he expected. So now, after 20 years, Mr. Sanborn is nudging the process along. He has provided The New York Times with the answers to six letters in the sculpture's final passage. The characters that are the 64th through 69th in the final series on the sculpture read NYPVTT. When deciphered, they read BERLIN."

    another chunk of us are (contrary to stereotypes) actually female

    Umm...citation needed?

    Or perhaps just a point of clarification: By making this statement, do you claim that, (a) it is hypothetically possible for a number of /. users to be actually female or, (b) that you, yourself are, in fact, female? I could maybe accept the first assertion on the basis of a logical thought experiment, but the second, I'm afraid, will require empirical evidence to be proven as fact.

    Also, if you are implying that you do, in fact, have an idea what this "fucking" thing is all about...please post a link. Thx.

    That's not what I meant. This is just another case of self-deprecating humor that /. completely fails to understand. You see...the joke is that I'm a nerd who has never had sex (not actually true), and doesn't understand what the word "fucking" means. Sure, it's offtopic, but I don't care. Screw you fuckers for judging me.
