For anyone interested in code breaking, cryptography, encryption, cryptanalysis etc I have put together a challenge that you may (or may not) want to take up. I believe the encoded messages cannot be cracked but I'd be happy for someone to prove otherwise (not really).

The challenge can be found here:
http://www.accessdata.co.nz/

And there is quite a bit of useful information (if you are new to the subject) on Simon Singh's website here : www.simonsingh.net/ and Wikipedia here : http:

Cheers

Can you post a screen shot? The bar above the link is an image of the message.
