NSA/CSS Kids' Page http://www.nsa.gov/programs/kids/index.html The Puzzle Solvers at Cryptic Manor was developed to share the fun and excitement of solving challenging problems--and hopefully get you thinking about careers in math, computer science, and technology. The National Security Agency employs some of the world's leading code makers and code breakers, many of whom are also talented computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and analysts. So you'll discover a number of the puzzles involve codes. In fact, Codey, your owlish guide for this site, was named for the codes created by our master cryptanalysts as well as the programming instructions (also called code) generated by our computer experts. Explore the rooms of the Cryptic Manor to find hidden links to the puzzles. The site contains both interactive puzzles and ones to print out and work with paper and pencil. We designed the puzzles to be challenging, so you'll need both time and brainpower to work out the solutions. You'll find more information by clicking on the yellow buttons on the left under Codey. Happy puzzle solving! ++ there is more on the web page. Mike ~ It is a good day if I learned something new.
