===Risk Analysis===
A risk assessment was undertaken for this project to include risk identification, analysis, evaluation and treatment strategies using the Adelaide University risk matrix procedure <ref>No Author. RISK MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK [online]. Available: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/legalandrisk/docs/resources/Risk_Management_Handbook.pdf</ref>. This can be seen in Figure 47. One of the risks that occurred during the project was the inaccurate estimation of time and resources. This occurred since the group and supervisors were unhappy with the results obtained from the initial analysis of letter frequency performed in Task 1.  This was rectified by implementing the flexibility of our schedule and by replacing the initially proposed Task 4: Mass Spectrometer Data Analysis, with a new Task 4: Statistical Frequency of Letters Reanalysis.  Another risk that occurred throughout the project was Illness.  This was able to be dealt with relatively easily through working from home for a short period of time.  The minor misunderstanding of project tasks occurred on a few occasions, but these were clarified through scheduling meetings with group members and supervisors.  Bugs in code were reduced to the best of our ability through thorough testing and debugging of code.  Finally, the inability to decipher the Somerton Man Code was a risk estimated with an almost certain likelihood.  Despite being unable to avoid this risk throughout the project, its effects were considered negligible, and the group was still able to complete all work to the best of its ability, and further the research into the decryption of the code for not only future honours groups, but also the wider community through publishing our results on our Wiki.
