| PRIVATE CONVERSATION |
Okay I wish I had been more prepared and useful at dinner. Here are some of the questions in my discussion with Sanborn:
JEW-LEE: If he ran across the correct solution that someone had posted, that WAS NOT passed through him. Would he acknowledge it?
SANBORN: He did not answer me as a yes or no, but smirked and said that Jae had a key of sorts that when you use the last part and you get the solution you should take out all the spaces and run them all together, then number each letter from 1 to n. Then (the person submitting the solution) should select several pairs. Send that to him; Jae will run that against the key that she has. "so that the person does not have to reveal their solution" He had a big smile when he said this...I felt as if he were proud of the method he came up with to check for correctness.

Please don't over analyze this but here are some of my immediate reactions to that statement:
I was very intrigued that he used the word "use" when pertaining to K4...
JEW-LEE: Immediately, I repeated so once you “use the last part” and you get the solution then you…blah blah blah…” and he repeated the “used phrase”
I knew he was still thinking of how to answer my question on how to submit and may have not realized that he said " use the last part and you get the solution "..
I would have assumed that "once you decrypted the last part" or "once you solved the last part" would have been more appropriate.

Was that a slip? I don’t know.
SANBORN: He continued by say that in all the many comparisons and submissions, not a single letter/character/instance (I don’t remember what language he used here letter or character or instance) had been matched by any submission, [Emphatically]“Not a one”.
He said that he goes into further detail in his autobiography that is currently in the works. It has the method for submission and tells how K4 is to be verified.
ME: I asked when can we expect to see the #1 best seller out? He said “oh, I don’t know it is at my publishers right now”.
I verified the technique with Jae she confirmed what Sanborn stated.
ES and I talked mostly about non- Kryptos material...nothing important to report here.
I was in a bit of shock and awe.. didn’t know quite what to ask, as not to offend…I just knew I would stick my foot in my mouth.. but what is worth that is the little bit of Intel that I retrieved…
