GCW03R The Da Vinci Code (Unknown Cache) in Michigan, United States created by aardvark-mi

This cache has been archived.

aardvark-mi: Sadly the most important componant came up missing. It was a homemade cryptex with another puzzle. In order to recreate it would take an investment of time and dollars. Although a really cool cache after some soul searching and weighing the amount of finds over the past year I decided not to rebuild this cache. Instead sometime in the near future I'll put my energies into another new adventure.

(Excerpt from the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Sophie was stopped on the stairs below him, staring up in confusion. A code? She had been pondering the words all night and had not seen a code. Especially a simple one.
     “You said it yourself” Langdon’s voice reverberated with excitement. “Fibonacci Sequence only has meaning in the proper order. Otherwise they’re mathematikal Gibberish.”
     Sophie had no idea what he was talking about. The Fibonacci numbers? She was certain they had been intended as nothing more than a means to get the Cryptography Department involved tonight. They have another purpose? She plunged her hand into her pocket and pulled out the printout, studying her grandfather’s message again.

13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5
O, Draconian devil!
Oh, lame saint!

      What about the numbers?
     “The scrambled Fibonacci sequence is a clue,” Langdon said, taking the printout. “The numbers are a hint as to how to decipher the rest of the message. He wrote the sequence out of order to tell us how to apply the same concept to the text. O, Draconian devil? Oh, lame saint? Thoze lines mean nothing. They are simply letters written out of order.”
     Sophie needed only an instant to process Langdon’s implication, and it seemed laughably simple. “You think this message is… uve anagramme?” She stared at him. “Like a word jumble from a newspaper?”
     Langdon could see the skepticism on Sophie’s face and certainly understood. Few people have realized that anagrams, despite being a trite modern amusement, had a rich history from sacred symbolism.
