I haven't started yet, but I figure it's about 5-8 lines in python.  Too
easy.  So it has to be written in C.

 I couldn't work up too much interest in the anagrams and cryptography
chapters but one exercise is the Union route Cipher.

 Spice up your challenge! A point he makes with one of the more complex
ciphers is while code can do the grunt work human intervention is needed
to sort the fly shit from the pepper since you'll get grammatically
correct sentences like Chomsky's 'Colorless green ideas sleep furiously'.
