So I mentioned to a few people last night about a hidden treasure. This treasures whereabouts is hidden in a series of encrypted documents.
I've encoded a message below that describes what this treasure is and how to find out more about it. As I discussed last night in my talk, Frequency Analysis is an aid used in cracking classic ciphers. Below is a message created using a classic cipher. See if you can crack it.
