    15 or so years ago our local historical library had a code breaking challenge - it had all sorts of classic ciphers including that the polyalphabetic substitution one similar to Enigma’s. And the texts themselves were mostly your mama jokes in Yoda speak (because the librarians are assholes) and I can’t describe the deflating feeling of spending a good couple of hours or so to decrypt YO MAMA SO FAT.
