[NEWS] Kryptos sculptor reveals a new hint

The Kryptos sculpture in front of the CIA headquarters has been discussed on unfiction once or twice before, but this time the original sculptor has revealed a clue. (New York Times link)

New York Times wrote:

So now, after 20 years, Mr. Sanborn is nudging the process along. He has provided The New York Times with the answers to six letters in the sculpture's final passage. The characters that are the 64th through 69th in the final series on the sculpture read NYPVTT. When deciphered, they read BERLIN.

In addition, a new website has been set up by the author.

wired.com wrote:

The site Kryptos Clue appeared this week. It's meant to provide an automated way for people to contact Sanborn with their proposed solutions to the puzzle. The site consists of a single page with an online form for solvers to submit the first 10 characters of their proposed solution to the puzzle.

http://www.wired.com/2014/11/second-kryptos-clue/

Code:

NYPVTTMZFPK = BERLINCLOCK

(another article link added)

(btw, the clue specifies "letters in positions 64 to 74" and not that string I've given; i'm taking that info from another discussion forum)
