Right! The one-time-pad is uncrackable. At least by ordinary people. And I do think the Grimm's Rapunzel is the only one that ever existed. Only one connection you didn't make: Grimm's fairy tales -> fairies -> magic! You see, I know plenty of fairies and for them it's no big deal to crack a one time pad with a little bit of magic. Do you recognize these letters?

But I must say, you two did a very good job. And that's why I asked my fairy friends to use a little more magic to make you a present. Next to your so desired package of ice cream cones you'll find the most wonderful book you could wish for. Mathematica Ludibunda! There you can find many fun and useful mathematical tips. And you'll also find out more about different ciphers. For example, if you are interested in learning more about the one-time-pad, just look at the glossary.

By the way, I also have a page with a few encoding/decoding machines. You might be interested in trying out those too. Especially since you already know how the ciphers behind them work.
