unfortunately i have to work this afternoon
a block of hex, then a list of binary... i'd say it was a bitmask of some sort for the hex bit, but you arranged them into bytes.......

oo ooo ooo I'm almost done!

[thebruce]

There are three parts to the solution. What is the connection between the men in the first list and the women in the second list? Which man pairs with which woman? And what is the hidden quotation?

Just to make things a little more interesting, GCHQ will be offering copies of 'Big Bang' the latest book by Simon Singh, the well known mathematician and code expert, to six successful solvers whose names will be drawn from a hat.

Answers should be emailed to pressofficeSPLATgchq.gsi.gov.uk and must be received by Thursday 27 January 2005. After that cut-off date, we will publish a hint to guide those who need some extra help on the understanding that they will not be allowed to submit their solutions for the prize draw.

Answers to the challenge and names of prize winners will appear on the website on Monday 7 February 2005.

This is from another site, so I don't have the answer, but i'm sure someone here can have fun.

Below are, in chronological order, six extracts from written works, both fiction and non-fiction, with a bearing on cryptography or intelligence. Five of them are from the beginning of the work in question, and one is from the beginning of a chapter. For each one, you need to decode the extract and identify the work. Once you have all the answers, can you find the hidden six-letter word?
