    What about it? It's... kinda old news. However, I have an idea. I'll use a basic kryptos (shift spaces, use an alphabet key, use the prime number multiplication table, bla bla bla) but use all sms speak. That code compounded with

    Grr, I'm a gonna have to crack your kryptos Deathbreak.

    :)

    They'll crack it hopefully. I mean, if they don't, they wouldn't be much of a secrecy/intelligence agency :p (Please don't hunt me down CIA)

    Looking at the solution the methods aren't that compilcated. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator just encrypted his encryption again (and used a different key).

    I'd laugh so hard if the CIA is trying so hard to solve this problem and all it is...is gibberish :p

    It roughly translates into OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGOMOMG I'M STUPID....

    Am I right? The last part of it was hard to translate...

    No, the last part decodes as

    "I don't really care about it, it was a satirical comment about the total waste of time and effort that has gone into massaging the ego of the sculptor."

    You were missing the crucial key that I had left under my fridge.

    The sculpture is 9 foot 11 inch high? That's unfortunate :p

    It is if you're a midget without a ladder. Other than that, I don't see the unfortunate aspect of the dimension.
