Easy peasy, but as I'm not looking for a job I'll keep the answer to myself.

I assume that because I was taken to this page, I must have achieved something.

Two possibilities, 1) you are excellent at working with base 64 codes or 2) You are good with Google

Two tasks for me to try to remember to perform: 1) Take a photograph of one particular shelf of my books to attach here & 2) See how much of my time could have been saved by the use of Google.

Hmm, I'm intrigued by 2).

Well ........ 1) definitely in awe if you knew how to deal with that code, I read an explanation and was lost very quickly 2) people have been posting the answer on various sites so Google has it (hence my cheat).

Well I'm going to have to google it now because I didn't have a clue...   I'm useless at anything cryptic though I can make up cryptic crosswords and quizzes but no good at solving them

At 63-years-of-age, I think I am just a tad past my best-before date to join the double-0 team.
