Fun Stuff: Break This Cypher!

The WeCite Blog is sending something your way in hope to work your idle brains in to a frenzy with this bizzare-looking (but in fact very simple) question in the form of a cypher.

Unfortunately there are no rewards for solving this cypher but hey, it’s worth sparking up those neurons 😉

This cypher is based on a very famous cypher technique that can be solved by putting the contents of the cypher (yes the ones in blue above) in a grid and then reading it with a given key (see below). Once the cypher is arranged with a little bit of creativity, the message beautifully unfolds on its own right in front of you. Go ahead. give it a shot. 

The key to this cypher is: spiral inwards, anti-clockwise, starting from the top left.

Just a hint, the answer to the riddle within is a five digit whole number 🙂

Do we have a smarty pants in the house?

Pakistan’s (New) Image?

With the evident news of roadblocks being lifted in the militant stronghold of South Waziristan, the local Taliban Commander, Baitullah Mehsud and his merry men, held responsible for various incidents of suicide bombings and attacks on civilians and armed forces since last year now have an open hand to run their operations.

What needs to be seen now is that whether, despite the ongoing controversial peace deal, the Taliban will remain content with where they are right now or would we be seeing such executions in Fatima Jinnah Park (Isl) or Race Course Park (Lahore) any time soon.
