Finding the Ciphers will help.



2.  Solve the puzzle.

You may be able to solve this puzzle with a Tap Code.  Here is a Wikipedia link that might be helpful.
Wikipedia - Tap Code

Here is the Roman Tap Code.




Read the table down, then over.

This puzzle appears to use a 6 x 6 Tap Code grid.  That could be the Alphabet plus the Numbers 0-9.

    This could be a Tap Code

      I've posted at Tap Code. The question is, did he change the order of the alphabet in the Key. My guess would be, of course!

      If you have time. Give this a try, and let us know if you find anything.

      We're also open to other theories.

    We contacted gramacindy (one of the Barnes Babes) to confirm that this is a Tap Code Puzzle, but she doesn't remember how to solve this puzzle.

    Does someone know the CO well enough to get a hint for the each of the Barnes Babes Ciphers?

    Without additional information, I'm not sure we can solve these last two puzzles. There are too many variables to make brute force a reasonable method of decryption, even with the help of our computers.

    CO can't remember. It originally was part of 4 caches. It was from 09. So he said it will take some digging to find what the code was.

    CO said its not a tap code.
