*posts on blog*Since everyone around here is thoroughly boring and hasn't provided me with any puzzles to pass the time, I thought I'd throw in a contribution of my own. It's child's play.

*sighs, types*Since some of you seem to be having difficulty figuring out this simple code and are demanding a hint, here's one:
This would not have worked before 1963. It may not be too long before the code becomes obsolete. *posts with a frown*

*types, frowning*It has been pointed out to me that my last hint only seems to work on the obsessively trivia-minded. Here's a new one: a certain sort of popular device named after a fruit will not help you much. Think "old school". *wonders if he's too obscure or just right*

Ah, Mrs. Hudson. I expect you're not terrifically familiar with the most common method used to break the code. It has rather been aimed at a younger generation. Just call me later. You know my number. And a touch-tone telephone isn't as difficult as the rotary models.

I never said it was a complex one, did I? In fact, I indicated quite the contrary.
I'm still waiting for you to produce one.
