Question 190029: Al Capone is holed up and wishes to communicate with his confederate Squizzy Taylor,who is similarly disadvantaged. Al writes his message and seals it in a strong box which he padlocks. He is forced to entrust this to a crafty but unscrupulous courier, who on no account is to see the message. This means that Al has to keep the key, of which no copy exists. How does Squizzy read the message?

Two trips for the courier. One to deliver the box, and another to deliver the key after the box is safely in Squizzy's hands.
