While doing a little tidying up I came across a model kit to make the Titanic. I have had it a while and seem to remember that one of my granddaughters bought me it for last Christmas.
Opening it up and looking at it sort of engrossed me and I got carried away and started to assemble it. About half an hour later it was done and given pride of place on the shelf.
It was in 1912 that the liner hit the iceberg and sank, that’s over a hundred years ago now. None the less it’s sad to think of the predicament all those people were in. My wife had a Great Uncle who crossed the Atlantic in 1912 to start a new life in the USA. Fortunately not on the Titanic.
The First World War started two years later and the Spanish flu epidemic followed that but the Titanic tragedy still haunts our world today.

And now to change tack completely;
If you read the last posting and are intrigued use this One-Off-Pad list try to solve this code.

QWJMDCVFNZGAENPJUHRS (A=1 through to Z=26)

The message you received was this: DRXQED SGG SOBPSIZZIJX

footnote: I can’t be sure but I seem to remember having to add 1 or subtract 1 when coding. Something to do with not using 0 as that would not work. Perhaps ‘A’ should be 0 and on through the alphabet until ‘Z’ equals 25. As I can’t remember at the moment what to do I am not able to enlighten you. I still can’t find Simon Singh’s book, it seems I will have to buy it again.
