Geocache Description:

It is not known whether one-way functions exist. In fact, their existence would imply P is not equal to NP, resolving the foremost unsolved question of computer science. Cache is not located at the above coordinates. Good idea to bring a pen, and please, NO stickers on the log.

While reading a story on cryptography, I received a strange email message that read "OSIDE-FNCE" and contained an attached file. After a virus scan turned up nothing, I opened the document only to see a bunch of seemingly random letters and numbers. Here is the attached file.
