Can You Crack The CIA's Impossible Secret Code?

When the CIA decorates, they don't just do the typical Martha Stewart home and garden look, they decorate their headquarters with unsolvable puzzles. Today we're looking at Kryptos, the unsolvable sculpture that has baffled some of the greatest minds. Many genius decoders have spent months trying to decipher just a line from this impossible puzzle. See if you have what it takes to solve it, maybe the CIA will offer you a job if you can crack this code!

Plot twist:
Guy who made this just wrote random letters

The Secret is that it was created by a cat walking over a keyboard.

My FBI agent: Ohh billy don't try


Me: I cant wait to hack the CIA

[SilencedPP]

I actually saw it in person. It's just sitting in the main courtyard. I doesnt seem like anything but a memorial unless you know what it is. Heck, I didnt even know what is was until my sister told me.

Being a detective can be a challenge. That’s until The Infographics Show gives us a lesson for secret codes

[sethfreakinrollins]

Well it surely isn't impossible for the one who created the code.

I have a theory, but since I can't find the specific puzzle that is unsolved, I cannot test this.
"Clock." A clock has numbers. This puzzle has letters. The Berlin Clock has colours that represent numbers, so why can't it be the same for this, but with letters?
I think that the solution is between the first twelve letters of the alphabet, and the second twelve. If you correlate the first twelve letters with the columns, and the second twelve with the rows, you may get it.
You can correlate the letters with specific times. All twenty-four mean times, but it's A.M. or P.M. depending on which twelve it is. You look at the light/shadow at the specific time, and they may blend together to create a different letter.
Edit: there are 26 letters in the alphabet. I was half asleep whilst writing this. Sorry!

FBI: We got the most excellent of elite codes to use up.

CIA: How cute.

There’s one comment but I can’t see it yet. Although I’m betting it 100% is a 12 year old who is saying ‘first’ because it is his proudest achievement

"the unsolvable sculpture that has baffled some of the greatest minds"


Me: Yeahh I'll give it a go.

The petrified wood they used was the "moon rocks" they found during the apollo missions

Plot twist:
The entire sculpture was just an ad for Raid: Shadow Legends

[aaronism]

i believe the answer is "there is no answer, it's a test in time management" O.K. Gotta get off the grid guys 👌🏻🕊

Has anyone tried pi X 178 to the 43765 power plus Shakespeares plays

Before watching, my guess is to wait until the sun is at the perfect angle to see the answer.

When he says 'clock' He's referring to the time of day when the shadows are on the ground. You can decipher what the message means when the right time of day on a specific day hits the sculpture. That's why no computer can decipher it.

[ryleebecher]

I have a theory, the first code references something “invisible” right, the second one contains coordinates somewhere in the building, the third is a quote from an archeologist discovering a tomb which is underground right? A hint was given, CLOCK. My theory is that the final clue pertains to something in the building beneath the ground level floors that is hidden in plain sight but is also either near a clock or dependent on time, if this place exists and is found, one might be able to shortcut to the final message. It’s just a theory and I don’t know that this is true, just a hunch.
