The title is ROT13'ed "Think, Columns Key: Billforward". Haven't been able to make much progress past that; I've tried the text against all of the symmetric ciphers on my system using the key "Billforward" without any luck.

- MariuszGalus 9y agoI tried to solve this and all the fuggin column cipher decrypters online didnt get me to this point.... Any progress? Column Trans. - Double - Übchi from the rumkin site... i guess i gotta get my python libs out.
- packetized 9y agoNone. There's a handful of n-grams in there that keep me guessing at 'em but I can't really piece together what the encipherment method might have been.
