This weeks puzzle takes us to the prestigious and totally fictitious Istituto Italiano di Ricerca Roditori (Italian institute of Rodent Research). The institutes Dr. Francesca is teaching mice to build mazes for other mice. With her workday done she says goodnight to her little experiments. "Buonanotte i miei bambini ho bisogno di andare al negozio" (Goodnight my babies I need to go to the store). The mice begin squeaking excitedly and start rearranging the various maze pieces until they create the pattern shown above. Being an amateur cryptographer Dr. Francesca looks over the pattern for a awhile and recognizes it as a variation of a popular cipher and begins to laugh. "Sì mi ricordo ... ci vediamo domani" (Yes I'll remember .. see tomorrow)
