To address the second part of this reply first:
As part of the testing of the code, secret messages written in it were
distributed in puzzle magazines with the promise of a prize to anyone who
could decrypt them. It wasn't actually expected that anyone would be able
to do so, as the code had already been tested under the most rigorous
conditions. Enter a nine-year old autistic savant. He breaks the code and
calls in for the prize. Based on the Ryne Douglas Pearson novel, Simple Simon.
The first part last:

"Yipee-Kay-Ah, Mother_____!"
