Well, I eventually solved the cipher puzzle. Like all
problems of obscurity, it’s pretty easy once you know the answer. (I
was actually headed down the right road with a key observation before I
blew it all to hell and disappeared down an alleyway of stupid ideas.
It took a nudge from Marco
to get me back on track.) Note that the cryptographer uses a few tricks
of the trade to try to make brute-force attacks a little more
difficult, so use your brane instead.
