 		[AA][PUZZLE] Cipher Wheel of DOOOOM!
Decrypting the Wheel from The Tomb, Boston
Ok guys, much delayed due to gettign settled after Boston, here is a transcript of the Mysterrrrioooous Cipher Well found at The Tomb. I aligned all the numbers as a 'base' to start from, then just went down each wheel.

Code:
1   2   0   8   4   7   3   6   5   9
A   C   C   K   Q   M   U   P   N   H
P   F   L   G   Y   X   P   E   S   F
Q   Z   U   F   I   J   S   Q   L   Z
J   G   B   Z   R   C   I   M   U   A
L   H   W   C   A   W   G   I   V   B
X   B   J   N   S   O   H   V   M   X
Y   Y   Q   U   G   D   A   L   E   C
R   M   H   O   H   G   L   F   Q   J
N   U   I   P   P   Y   M   Z   W   U
E   R   T   D   O   I   O   R   B   P
D   P   R   B   T   F   N   W   X   E
K   E   A   H   F   Z   Y   B   K   L
W   A   M   Q   Z   U   Q   N   J   S
T   L   S   X   C   K   W   A   H   G
M   S   D   L   V   L   F   X   Y   I
V   W   E   J   J   P   Z   C   T   N
S   N   P   Y   W   Q   D   U   P   D
O   J   O   T   E   B   J   K   C   Q
U   V   V   E   N   R   K   J   I   R
G   K   Y   R   M   A   E   G   F   W
H   Q   K   A   B   T   R   D   Z   T
B   D   F   S   U   S   B   T   D   M
C   O   Z   W   L   H   V   S   R   V
F   T   N   M   K   N   C   Y   A   K
Z   I   X   V   D   V   X   H   G   O
I   X   G   I   X   E   T   O   O   Y


I'll pop a copy of this over to Surry.

Done some reorganizing with the though of it being a Jefferson Wheel, essentially moving the 'wheel' (ie excel columns) around

Here's it with 0 acting as 0



Code:
0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9
C   A   C   U   Q   N   P   M   K   H

W   L   H   G   A   V   I   W   C   B

and 0 as 10

Code:
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   0

I've pasted both of those last two forms into a ROTer and got nothing. Perhaps the order is yet to be revealed? I don't know. I'll keep fooling around.

 		From the letter that was also received in The Tomb (I believe)

Quote:
My agents will contact you and keep watch. Our communications are encoded, as always, and I am providing you with the means of encoding and decoding messages. Keep this safe and do not let it fall into hands that may be unfriendly to our cause.


So I think this is just a tool for future usage, as opposed to something we need right here and now

 		OK, so I didn't want Dionysus to have all the fun (being the only one with a super cool wheely thing), so I made a cipher wheel we can all enjoy.
It's really basic, but functional.

Let me know if you have trouble with it.

[EDIT] Just thought I would add that I was going to make an auto-solver, but I don't know if the method of decryption will be consistant enough for that. Maybe if it proves to be, I will.

[EDIT] stupid mediafire... adding attachment.
