A lot of us like a little puzzle so those nice people at GCHQ have set us one.
Take a look at it then we will continue. Ready? Good. Now I wasn't sure where to start with this so I wouldn't bother but Chris did and came up with most of the solution but not the final answer. So we need your help. So as to not spoil it, this will continue in the next section - don't read on if you want to try it yourself. Oh and if you want to know how he got this far I will post that in a few days' time as well.
Chris thinks the answers are:
1 From: The Bible, The Book of Joshua (Chapter 2)
2 From: The Gold-Bug
3 From: The Adventure of the Dancing Men
4 From: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
5 From: Intelligence Services Act 1994
6 From: The Code Book
and apparently there is a concealed 6 letter word in them.
The answer could be "secret" if you take one letter from each of the above but that is a bit tenuous. That's assuming the above is correct of course but we are fairly certain about that - I'll post Chris's ingenious method in a few days time.
Any suggestions?
If anybody is still watching, Chris thinks the answer is "Puzzle"
