The Kryptos (K4) cipher has been linked to the Fermilab cipher.

Check it out.

The fourth part of the Kryptos sculpture appears to be the toughest. If there is to be a contextual follow through clue from part 3 then perhaps square number analysis might provide an entry point into part 4? Since very few people have solved the fouth part it must be something esoteric and complex such as a unique alphametic solution.

E.G.

***SIX
***SIX
***SIX
+BEAST
*SATAN

Has any one ever considered that maybe its multiple messages but only one is the true answer? What I mean is that there might be many ways to "decode" the message that will provide unique readable results but only one unique take on it will provide the appropriate answer.

I'm not big on code cracking but I decided to give this a try and see what I could come up with. I started with the most obvious thing that is presented to you, the name Kryptos.
The first thing I noticed was that Kryptos can be broken into elemental names.

Kr – Krypton 36
Y – Yttrium 39
P – Phosphorus 15
O – Oxygen 8
S – Sulfur 16
or
Os – Osmium 76

I tried to apply those numbers to a sequential pattern but didn’t yield any positive results. Maybe someone else can benefit from this find?

Think in Cartesian.

Place all 4 sequences in separate layers, black text on white background.

K1 (Top layer)

K2

K3

K4 (Bottom Layer)

Set alpha to varying levels. (simulating Palimpsest)

You may not only just find words in combined layers, due to slight text misalignment in the X, Y, but then think in Z, expanding even more for a potential primmer.

Tell me what you see. =)
