Geocache Description:

Similar to my "Numberland" series, this series of caches is based on a book I bought in an airport bookshop. The Code Book, by Simon Singh is a history of cryptography and cryptanalysis and is a must-read for any puzzle solver.

This cache is now part of a Masters of Mystery Cache

This cache is inspired by the book and there are hints in it for the special twist in this puzzle, but they might be hard to spot. The coordinates for the cache are embedded in the following text.
