chomerics Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think this has been posted before. Damn, I figured it was worth a shot Well, on that note, here's a puzzle I can guarentee nobody will get. Kryptos is the name of a sculpture at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency that was dedicated in October 1990. The sculpture, which has 865 characters, was placed there as a whimsical challenge but has stumped and obsessed cryptographers around the world for nearly a decade.Jim Sanborn, the artist who designed Kryptos, said he believes that the ultimate secret hidden in the text of Kryptos will never be deciphered. The actual cryptogram was designed by Edward M. Scheidt, a former chairman of the C.I.A.'s Cryptographic Center. Ed Scheidt, the retiring chairman of its Cryptographic Center, was hailed by then-director William Webster as "The Wizard of Codes." Scheidt figured that the first chunks of the puzzle would stand a few years; the last part, perhaps ten. He didn't know his own strength. So far only a small handful of people have been able to decipher portions of the code. The fourth and final piece has been attempted by both the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency with no luck. To this day it remains unsolved. Do you think you have what it takes to decipher the world's hardest cryptogram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 the two triangle pieces have different slopes, which causes a displacement in area. the whole figure is not a tringle, rather it is a quadralateral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 :confused: 4,538,999 Oh yeah, and the triangle one was retarded...that's not really a puzzle, its looking at a picture and seeing that the hypotenuse is different. Why is that supposed to be challenging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
