Polycarbonate bottles are a special plastic used to make bulletproof glass and water bottles, i.e Nalgene bottles at EMS. Polycarbonate bottles are dubbed "indestructable" and can withstand heats up to 523 degrees Kelvin according to www.ems.com. I was wondering, has anyone attempted to break one? If one was able to break the bottle, how did you do so? besides running it over with a car.

Is the water offshore of St. Mary's and Kingsland (Southeast) GA shallow or deep?

On the Atlantic Coast, the water offshore in parts of Florida (more specifically the Florida Plataeu) is deep. The water offshore in Savannah (Northern part of the coast) Georgia is shallow. Kingsland, St. Marys, and Kings Bay are in Southeast Georgia- closer to Savannah than the Florida Plateau in Southeast Florida.

This question is for an important briefing. If anyone could provide a reliable reference, that would be great.

Suppose you knew a message had been coded using a Substitution cipher. Substitution Cipher is defined below?

THIS QUESTION COULD BE BASED ON PERMUTATION OR COMBINATION. Suppose you knew a message had been coded using a Substitution cipher. If it took you one second to try out each key, how many days would it take for you to try all possible keys on this message? Definition of SUBSTITUTION CIPHER from WIKIPEDIA:In cryptography, a substitution cipher is a method of encryption by which units of plaintext are substituted with ciphertext according to a regular system; the "units" may be single letters (the most common), pairs of letters, triplets of letters, mixtures of the above, and so forth. The receiver deciphers the text by performing an inverse substitution.
