Geocache Description:

NB! The cache is not placed at the above given coordinates!

Jeg ble oppmuntret til å lese Simon Singhs bok - ”The Code Book” her i høst og ble med det veldig fascinert av koder, kryptering og dekryptering. Siden har jeg lest meg opp på diverse kodesystemer og fattet også interesse for David Kahns bok – ”The Codebreakers”.

All denne nye kunnskapen har inspirert meg til å lage en liten ”Brainteaser”-serie, med varierende vanskelighetsgrad. Jeg anbefaler likevel å løse disse i kronologisk rekkefølge da vanskelighetsgraden vil være økende utover i serien.


Last fall I was encouraged to read Simon Sings book – “The Code Book”. I’ve been fascinated with codes, ciphers and deciphering ever since. Since then I have read about various ciphers and also gotten an interest in David Kahns book – “The Codebreakers”.

All this new knowledge inspired me to make a series of “Brainteasers”. These puzzles will have varying difficulty and I recommend that these puzzles are solved chronologically. The difficulty will increase with every puzzle.




The puzzle

This is a polygraphic substitution cipher that was created by a French cryptographer.
