Back in 1990, artist Jim Sanborn created a sculpture for the CIA that was appropriate in that it had 4 parts which had a code embedded on them. The codes were all different and he challenged anyone to decipher them all.
3 were deciphered fairly quickly by cryptographers at the CIA, though the results were kept secret for a few more years.
But the 4th one remained unbroken. Until a couple of reporters figured out a way to break the code via a side door - at the national archives.
They're not saying what the answer is, and the code itself remains undeciphered still.
And the person who owns the key to all of it tells us that there is a 5th cypher that hasn't revealed itself yet.
This is kind of amazing and the article breaks it down for us.
