Denne følgende plain text er formateret med mellemrum og passende linieskift.

Bemærk at der optræder diverse Q'er, X'er og Y'er i teksten der tilsyneladende kun har til formål at fungere som padding, som det er omtalt i romanen (disse er markeret med [...]). Bemærk ligeledes, at der ved tal er anvendt at A=1, B=2, C=3 osv. (disse er markeret med efterstillet {...}). Endelig er forskellen mellem I og J, der går tabt i krypteringen, retableret (markeret med efterstillet {J}).
