===Aims and Objectives===
The key aims and objectives in this project included the aim to statistically analyse the likely language of the ''plaintext'' of the code.  Another aim was to design and implement software in order to try and decipher the code.  This was to be implemented by using the ''Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam'' as a ''one-time pad'' in conjunction with a new ''key'' technique, and by developing a search engine to try to discover possible n-grams contained within the code.  The third aim was to analyse mass spectrometer isotope concentration data of the Somerton Man’s hair.  Finally, the ultimate aim was to decrypt the code in order to solve the mystery, however this was somewhat unrealistic as the code has remained uncracked for many years.  Despite this, computational techniques were to be utilised to attempt the decryption, and at the very least, the past research into the case was to be furthered for future Honours students.
