The secret of CIA’s ‘Kryptos’ sculpture, unsolved for 35 years,
is up for sale.
The final 97 characters of the encrypted sculpture at CIA headquarters
have obsessed code breakers for decades.
Artist Jim Sanborn will auction off the solution on his 80th birthday.That's the paywalled SYNOPSIS.
The article is behind paywall, see parent's link.
Looks like the title transformer changed this one to a false statement.
Yes. The code (of the last unsolved part) will be auctioned off, not the sculpture itself
I wish this wasn't the case so much, but I understand why. I just wish it was transferred more reliably to another custodian- even though a charity auction isn't the worst way.
Bit of info, non-paywalled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos
Somebody call Martin Shkreli!
please fix the title - the solution is for sale, the sculpture is not
