Cryptography
Here is a code that I created which was broken fairly quickly by a colleague:

The cube diagram is a clue. Can you crack this code? The above code was first published in my free book: "Opportunity Magnet 101". Please feel free to contact me if you can crack it or have any questions and comments.
Quite a while after the first code I had an idea for a new kind of cryptography. Well it appears to me that it is a new kind... experts may be able to crack it easily. Perhaps you can recognize it as based on existing work which I did not know about? In my understanding it could be very difficult to crack even by the most advanced computers. It seems that such computers will be helpless against this code unless a human first recognizes the secret principle... only then might it be possible to use computers to speed up the deciphering.
The example presented here(VirtueScience Cipher 2) is I suppose mid-range in the possible difficulty range for this new kind of code: in that I have taken some care to conceal the method but on the other hand there seems to be various extra steps I could have taken to make the cracking much harder and more time consuming.

So what is the verdict? Is this a real game changer that will revolutionize cryptography throughout the world, or is it a trivial code easily broken? Well one cryptogram with no method revealed does not prove anything either way. (see Kerckhoffs's_principle). Please post your questions and comments here in the sci.crypt thread Post your solution in the thread or feel free to contact medirectly. Good Luck!
