I ran a quick Kappa test on it. ...
I had a blast with this one. I was up until 4:30 last night working on Pierre van Rooyen's "Here follows a example..." cryptogram. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle; there's a hump you cross over near the end where everything just falls into place. Jim Gillogly broke it in only a few hours, whereas I must have put in a whole day cumulatively (half of that writing software), but it was my first real cryptogram. It was a hell of a learning experience. They say that you can't design a crypto system until you've broken someone else's first, and this really drove it home.
