Even though I didn't vote for this design, I would vote for the shorter
wording. But I will point out that it seems slightly less than
democratic to have folks choose a design, and then re-do that design w/o
putting it up for another vote on code4lib.
Maybe I'm being too picky?

Well, if it's open for a rewrite, perhaps something like:
It was hopeless. Maude and Agnes had cracked top-secret
messages during World War II, but even Bletchley Park's
finest cryptographers were mystified by the enigmatic "008".
At the risk of dissecting frogs, I think it telegraphs the context and
puts the punchline where it belongs: at the end. It also breaks well
into three lines.
