Wow, well thank you Mills. Thats very interesting. I don't understand it, but that does give me someplace to start to figure this out.

Nope, it looks like Ron copied that text correctly.

This clue makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why use a cipher that is so random to give a clue from a passage from an encoded message that nobody has been able to crack?

test

......ECDMRIPFEIMEHNLSSTTRTVDOHW has been cracked, it's part 3 of the kryptos

?OBKR...... has not been cracked, it's the beginning of part 4

So why include it here? Unless it was just a way for people to identify that this text came from that puzzle.

You're wrong. There is a guy in Arizona who could solve it. But then he started to hear some cackling and... well, he isn't available anymore. :-)

Thanks for posting, mils. No wonder I couldn't crack it... LOL. Now what it is supposed to signify is going to take some careful thought indeed.

Do you actually know of a solution for the final bit Oromis as it applies to C4?

Seriously, I'm stuck with this thing. :-( It looks like a transposition and something else, but who knows?

Thanks Mills, for putting us out of our misery - or adding to it!
