This is about the Kryptos cypher, it should be in the submission's title, cause people here know what it is mostly.

Thanks, we've put the HMTL doc title up there now.
Alt title from NYT header: Solution to CIA’s Kryptos Sculpture Is Found in Smithsonian Vault
not clickbaity enough. journos got mortgages to pay & the Sulzbergers need their dividends.
Wrong kind of clickbait headline for HN though, probably more interesting that it's about the kryptos sculpture.
They are guidelines, not rules, but the site guidelines here advise submitters to use the original title for linked articles: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
And frankly a Kryptos solution is much more interesting than some arbitrary CIA secret!
