Hi everyone,
I appreciate that a cipher cannot be classed as secure if it's
strength is based on a concealed algorithm.
So I present this cipher only as a curiosity. It is, I believe based
on an unusual technique which, who knows, maybe of some interest to
cryptology down the line. Perhaps there is a concept here that can be
integrated into a more professional framework in the future. I will
probably reveal the method to anyone interested after the 17th of
August but will keep it hidden for now so as not to spoil the
challenge.

I will paypal $1000 to the first person who can decipher the plaintext
from the above ciphertext. Solutions must be presented before the
deadline August the 17th 2012 after which the challenge will be
withdrawn.
The ciphertext was prepared by hand and can be deciphered by hand with
no computer needed. The plaintext is in english. It may contain the
letters a-z, spaces and fullstops.
Best Wishes,
James Barton
