- Finally, water can carry dirt into the crack—and there's no way to flush it out. None of these are attractive propositions. But before you panic, drive home and get out your magnifying glass.
- Kryptos is a sculpture by the American artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia.Since its dedication on November 3, 1990, there has been much speculation about the meaning of the four encrypted messages it bears. Of these four messages, the first three have been solved, while the fourth message remains one of the most famous.

Somewhere Out There
Repair a cracked window, glass tabletop, or even a mirror with this easy step-by-step guide.

A pebble from the lawnmower tossed against a window. A drink set down too heavily on your glass-topped coffee table. A favorite vase tipped over by your curious cat. These and near-endless other scenarios can lead to a crack in glass. Sadly, glass that has broken into pieces or has cracks larger than an inch, as well as double-paned glass with a hole through both panes, is pretty much beyond repair.
The good news is you can often fix a small crack in glass yourself with little more than a steady hand and a few basic supplies. You’ll need to fix a crack in glass right away, however, as small ones can grow into larger breaks if exposed to moisture, temperature swings, dirt, or rough treatment.
Before you begin, note:
• The following guide on how to repair a crack in glass will do the job for single-pane-glass household items. This includes tabletops, shower doors, vases, and single-pane windows—as well as double-pane windows with a crack in only one of the panes. It’s not intended for repairing a cracked car windshield, which requires a syringe to inject resin into the crack and a plunger to maintain the vacuum between the windshield’s layers of glass.
• While you can fix a cracked mirror with this technique, the reflection is bound to show the repair a bit more than on regular glass. You’ll get best results with a minor crack on the sides of a mirror, out of the direct line of vision.

STEP 1: Clean the glass with dish soap.
Wash the glass around the crack with a drop or two of dishwashing soap on a damp cloth. You’ll want to remove any dust, oil, or fingerprints, and then wipe the spot with a clean damp cloth to remove the soap residue. Let the glass dry completely.
STEP 2: Mix up the two-part epoxy.
In a well-ventilated area, prepare a two-part epoxy on a piece of cardboard or a disposable plate. These adhesives (which can found in many craft stores, home improvement centers, or on Amazon.com) have a separate resin and hardener that are mixed together at the time of use.

While the mixture is often a 50/50 blend of the resin and the hardener, follow the directions on your specific product. Use a toothpick to mix the epoxy for at least 20 seconds. Once the epoxy is mixed, be ready to use it immediately, as it will quickly thicken and harden. Generally, you’ll have five to ten minutes of working time before the epoxy is too thick to easily seep into the crack.
STEP 3: Apply the epoxy to the crack in the glass using a putty knife.
Press the epoxy over and into the crack with a putty knife. Work the adhesive back and forth across the crack, gently pressing it into the damaged area. Let the epoxy cure for at least five minutes.
STEP 4: Remove excess epoxy with a razor blade and let the rest cure.
Scrape away excess epoxy with a razor blade, and then wipe the area with a clean rag moistened with acetone to further remove epoxy that’s raised above the crack. Let the repaired glass cure for 24 hours.
STEP 5: Spiff up the surface with a glass cleaner.
Polish the glass with a clean rag and glass cleaner, and enjoy your repaired item.

The final clue to a coded message plonked outside the CIA building 30 years ago has been revealed by the code’s creator.
Artist Jim Sanborn built the copper sculpture, known as Kryptos, in a courtyard at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia, in 1990.
It’s made up of four passages, three of which have been solved by code breakers. However, the fourth and final passage has yet to be cracked.
Sanborn, now 74, has already handed out two clues to help push puzzlers towards a solution.
He’s now released what he says is the third and final clue for the segment, reports The New York Times.
It is a word: “Northeast”. Read more about the quest to solve the puzzle below.
THREE SOLVED SEGMENTS

Sanborn worked with retired CIA cryptographer Edward Scheidt to create the puzzle.
Each passage of text follows a theme of concealment and discovery, each more fiendishly tricky to unravel than the last.
The first reads: “BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION.”
The last word, “illusion”, was misspelled on purpose to make the puzzle harder, according to Sanborn.
The location of CIA headquarters by latitude and longitude is included in the second puzzle.
It asks: “DOES LANGLEY KNOW ABOUT THIS? THEY SHOULD: IT’S BURIED OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. X WHO KNOWS THE EXACT LOCATION? ONLY WW.”
The “WW” is a reference to William Webster, who was CIA boss when the sculpture was put in place.
Sanborn handed him a key for deciphering the messages.
The third solved clue paraphrases British Egyptologist Howard Carter’s account of opening King Tut’s tomb in 1925.
The text reads: “SLOWLY, DESPARATLY SLOWLY, THE REMAINS OF PASSAGE DEBRIS THAT ENCUMBERED THE LOWER PART OF THE DOORWAY WAS REMOVED. WITH TREMBLING HANDS I MADE A TINY BREACH IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER. AND THEN, WIDENING THE HOLE A LITTLE, I INSERTED THE CANDLE AND PEERED IN. THE HOT AIR ESCAPING FROM THE CHAMBER CAUSED THE FLAME TO FLICKER, BUT PRESENTLY DETAILS OF THE ROOM WITHIN EMERGED FROM THE MIST. X CAN YOU SEE ANYTHING? Q”.
Again, spelling and punctuation errors were added in to make the puzzle harder.
THE FINAL CLUE

The final segment remains unsolved and is a jumble of letters awaiting decryption.
“OBKRUOXOGHULBSOLIFBBWFLRVNORTHEASTOTWTQSJQSSEKZZWATJKLUDIAWINFBBERLINCLOCKWGDKZXTJCDIGKUHUAUEKCAR”.
Until recently, Sanborn had provided two clues in the form of words that appear in the decrypted text.
In 2010, he revealed the word “BERLIN” appeared in the 64th through 69th positions in the final passage.
Four years later, he disclosed that the word “CLOCK” made up the next five letters.
Now, Sanborn has revealed the word “NORTHEAST” appears at positions 26 through 34.
Sanborn has set up an email system through which puzzle fiends can submit solutions – though it costs $50 a pop.
The 74-year-old told the Times he wasn’t sure the puzzle would be solved before his death.

“For the past few years I have been trying to figure out how to have this ‘system’ survive my death,” Sanborn said. “It has not been easy.”
