    Reminded me of a puzzle I wrote around 2000. The puzzle, given below, consisted of ROT-N words (words encrypted by rotating by N letters, like ROT-13). What was interesting about the words selected was that many of
    them encrypted as other words. Since the value of N may change with
    each word, multiple Caesar ciphers were needed. I don't remember if I
    posted the puzzle to any Usenet groups.
