Without his extremely helpful and well-written cypher tool, this would have taken much much longer... Really, everyone who contributed with suggestions, solutions, or moral support deserves the deepest gratitude from all of us. This truly is an incredible community, with the most intelligent and amiable members one could hope to gather in one place. It's quite amusing to imagine some Quake III fan forum trying to solve this same puzzle - or, i'm sorry, i meant trying to 'own' this puzzle... :)
