Cryptography  Club  Cipher  Challenge	

Thank you for participating in the Cipher Challenge.  We wish you the best of
luck while solving these ciphers.  As you can see, some very helpful hints have
been given.  If you get stuck, do not be dismayed!  There are several resources
available in the library and online which may assist you.  The author believes
that this challenge could be the most enjoyable if the ciphers are solved in the
following order: 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 (where the last could be considered the most difficult).

Thank you again for your participation and good luck!
