Between journeys to Egypt, Persia, central Asia and more extreme locales, Claudan published six books on astronomy and mathematics and one last book on cosmology, a book which is considered dangerous by some who know of such things: the Libri Plures Admiratio (\"Book of Many Wonders\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the most part he is remembered as a minor inventor or various knots, pulley systems, cog-works and early machines for pumping water, but despite his vanishing almost entirely from known science one legacy of Claudan remains: the Laqueus. This short code, believed to be an equation, was rendered just days before his death. It is regarded in the small circles that know of it as either an epiphany or complete gibberish. To date, no one has publicly claimed to understand it, much less to have solved it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMathematicians and cryptographers throughout the ages have spent spare hours plugging away to solve the glyphs, with little or no success. It holds a place in the annals of cryptography as one of the few cryptograms to resist modern attempts at cracking. It is used as an example in many cryptography tomes as a \"clean\" cypher - one that remains untranslatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e∆\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation IAPETUS Briefing Summary\u003cbr\u003e\nYou are to investigate the murders of MALCOLM RIDGEWAY (age 44), DINAH RIDGEWAY (43), MICHAEL RIDGEWAY (18), CLARK RIDGEWAY (16), DEAN RIDGEWAY (14), MARY RIDGEWAY (13), ALICE RIDGEWAY (12), and CLAIRE RIDGEWAY (10) in Alliance, New Jersey, on October 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe murderer was MICHAEL WEI (26, deceased).
