Wondering people's thoughts related to this one. The text mentions that it's some sort of scytale. Do we think this is a hint for how to solve, or just her observing it's like a scytale in the sense that its a bunch of words written around a stick and read down the length. Also, the text mentions that there are 3 dials, two with words and the third with blanks one letter wide. Since they are called dials, does that mean they can move and spin? Can all three spin? Or should you assume to keep the first two fixed and only move the third one? Or did they just use poor word choice when describing how the words were written around the stick and the words are just engraved on the stick and not movable? Part of me thinks eventually a caesar shift is involved due to the use of the phrase shiftiest shift.
