Well, I only meant to suggest that might be a hill cipher, so I should've said that more clearly, but there is one problem- that is the ONLY thing that I can think of that seems to combine the previous three methods of encryption, obviously minus the squared number-to-letter cipher. Maybe it IS a Hill Cipher though. Supposed that is is, and consider this: What if the clues are to be combined as well? Could this suggest that we include 1) substitution, 2) Elimination, 3) 2-rail, and possibly FOUR columns, since he emphasized four in the puzzle's post? And since Eldron also emphasized looking at ALL the previous puzzles, maybe it is simply a reverse-order decryption with the Squared Number Cipher being the first to be used. Any thoughts? ~Dicer EDIT: I'm going to try a Hill Cipher Decryption with FOUR as the base for the vector, and using a four-row and two-row rail/ Hill cipher base, as well as trying smaller hill ciphers with four as the base to see if I can Veeeery slowly figure it out. Wish me luck!
