Challenge 1: Jefferson Wheel Ciphertext
Decrypt the message in http://www.cs.virginia.edu/cs588/challenges/jefferson-wheel.txt which was encoded using a Jefferson wheel cipher with 36 wheels.
The message was encrypted by taking groups of 36 letters, turning the wheels to align the plaintext, and then selecting a random row along the wheels as the ciphertext.
The value of a satisfactory solution to this challenge is 100 points (one problem set).
Hints reveals on 2 October: Wheels, Additional Ciphertext
Solved by Geoff Stoker, student in last year's CS551 course, 30 November
(If you want to look at last year's Jefferson Wheel Challenge, that's okay, but the message, wheels and key are different this year. No one solved last year's challenge.)
