Editing Semester A Progress Report 2012 (section)

====The Code====
One other item was found on the victim’s body, inside a sewn up pocket of his trousers, a small piece of paper torn form a book with the words "Tamam Shud".  Translated from Persian this means ended or finished.  Which can be found on the last page of the book called The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.  On November 30th 1948, a man in Glenelg found this book left in the backseat of his car, testing later on confirmed that the paper found on the victim matched this book.

In the back of this book, written in pencil were five lines of capital letters, with the second line crossed out:


WRGOABABD

MLIAOI

WTBIMPANETP

MLIABOAIAQC

ITTMTSAMSTGAB


The similarity between the second line and the fourth line indicates that a mistake was made, which increases the likelihood that the lines are in fact a code. However over the years no one has yet been able to determine the meaning or purpose of the code.

Over the years there have been multiple attempts at identify and deciphering the code, however there si yet to be any acceptable results. One notable attempt was made in 1978, by the Australian Defence Force, who conducted analysis the code and stated that there wasn't enough symbols to provide a pattern, the symbols could be a complex substitution code, or a meaningless response to a disturbed mind but ultimately were unable to provide a satisfactory answer.

This leads to the motivation behind this project, as there have been 60 years, and three years worth of projects run by the University yet the code still remains unsolved.
