A program to crack the cipher at http://keiththomsonbooks.com/cipher-02022012.html
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This is the program I wrote to crack this fun little cipher: http://keiththomsonbooks.com/cipher-02022012.html
# The clue clearly indicates that this is just a simple substitution cipher [1]; even better, it looks like ROT13 [2],
# except that you clearly don't move every letter along by exactly 13 places. So how many letters do you need to move
# it along by? There's only 26 letters in the English alphabet: let's try every possible value!
