Abstract

Take the text of Shakespeare's Hamlet beginning with its title "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Demark...". Write down the digits of pi (after the decimal point) in successive slices, reduce these mod 26, and convert the resulting numbers to letters using the correspondence A=0, B=1...Z=25.
