sorry... you're not congratulated...:))
the numbers refer to the chapters where you'll find what you need...

Two people in distant locations have exact copies of the same book. They want to pass messages back and forth undetected. They work out a system of referencing words or letters in the book to create a message. Dan Brown has used an extremely simple form of this code in Digital Fortress. Pay close attention to detail.
You will not be able to read the message even after you collect your data. There is a lot of mathematics in cryptology. You are going to have to use simple mathematics to set up your data and extract the message.
Remember that the book is about the most advanced (we hope) crypto organization in the world. Also remember that Dan Brown wrote this book because one of his students was approached by the Secret Service because of something that the student had sent to a friend in an email message.

I have been following Dan Brown's work since he started writing books. My copy of Digital Fortress is fourth printing. Until Da Vinci Code came out I occasionally corresponded with Dan Brown by email.
My post was designed to educate the interested parties concerning cryptology. I did not give away the secrets of the code. I broke the code years ago and confirmed it with Dan Brown by email.

I figured out the code after reading all these hints. If you are still having trouble here is another hint: 6 is A vowel.

Is having the book mandatory to solving this code? I 'listened' to the book.. ie, an audiobook.

I've now read all four of Dan Brown's books and have totally enjoyed each one!!!
Just wanted to note ... and I'm sure you're all aware of this. But Deception Point also has a code at the end of the book - same format (when comparing the two codes you're given a big clue on how to work it out). I'm sure the other two books have something at end as well but my copies are currently circulating amongst friends who won't give them back!!!

I would say it would be very difficult on an audio book unless you can tune to specific areas of the book.

I still can't figure it out! I get that the numbers correlate to chapeters but what am I supposed to look for after that. I guess it would help if I was better at math
