So I’ve binged all three The Librarian Movies.

First I have to say it, it’s a little Indiana Jones in its execution. But a fund romp none the less.

In fact The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice  – that had a vampire in it plus old Vlad Dracul too. Apparently in this one he was a vampire too.

But one thing got me – they mentioned a Viginere Cypher – it’s bascially a 26×26 grid of the alphabet that rotates to some degree. It wasn’t cracked until the middle of the 19th century. And for the most part today most people wouldn’t know what it was. For example this paragraph with the key Truthspew is:

And FYI – the number of possibilities in Vigenere is 6.1561195802071573107966742884002e+36 that last part – 36 places after the decimal point. It’s a pretty big number. But it was cracked because certain patterns emerge.
