Gabe asked Kevin Sands:

Hi, I have a couple of questions that I've been wondering about. First, I don't know if you've ever mentioned it in the books, but is Tom older than Christopher? Second, for the code on the cover of the Assassin's Curse, are we given any clue, or expected to figure it out just from the code? Also, is it any particular cipher we're supposed to use (like the Vigenère cipher) or are we expected to figure that out too?
