All you Da Vinci Code fans, here is an interesting piece of info ........

The code that appears at the end of the book, after the main plot

1-V-116-44-11-89-44-46-L-51-130-19-118-L-32-118-116-130-28-116-32-44-133-U-130

is decrypted by looking at the first letter on the chapter decided by the
number. For example, the first letter of chapter 116 is "C". The resulting
text is
TVCIRHIOLFENDLADCESCAIWUE

Decryption is performed using a columnar transposition cipher, termed a
"Caesar Square" cipher in the book (this is unrelated to the Caesar cipher).
The letters are arranged into a five-by-five square:

TVCIR
HIOLF
ENDLA
DCESC
AIWUE

and read each column from the top down.
THEDAVINCICODEWILLSURFACE

Add spaces and correct capitalization, and you get the plaintext,
The Da Vinci Code will surface !!!!!!!!!
