Aunt Alice is obviously a reference to the standard Alice / Bob / Eve crypto protocol characters. 162.158.158.219 20:00, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Anyone know if this is an actual scene from an actual children's book? Or is it just sort of an ad hoc representation of how these things might typically go? -- MeZimm 172.68.2.107 20:27, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- "Aunt Gertrude" suggests *The Hardy Boys* series of children's novels. I don't recall this particular scene. 172.70.85.46 20:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think Aunt Gertrude ever set Frank and Joe a puzzle herself, but it is certainly evocative of several puzzles in the Hardy Boys. 172.71.151.136 21:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
