Description
Cryptex V3
A cryptex is a plastic container protected by a cipher that must be typed to get to the contents.
This Cryptex is styled after the one featured in the world famous "Da Vinci Code", which makes it even more awesome.
In the novel The Da Vinci Code, the cryptex is described as a stone cylinder consisting of five marble disks the size of a donut. These disks are located one after the other.
The entire alphabet is cut out on each of the discs, and five discs sequentially create 11881376 combinations! The discs can be rotated independently to create different
letter alignment combinations, including words, initialisms, and anagrams.
The cryptex works "much like a bicycle combination lock." If you position the discs so that the correct password is formed, the internal toggle switches will align, and the cylinder cover with the contents
can be pulled out.
According to the novel "The Da Vinci Code", secret information on a thin papyrus scroll can be hidden in the inner compartment of the cryptex.
This is a wonderful puzzle and a great gift for connoisseurs of unique things.
