Dunno. David Kahn, in *The Codebreakers*, notes in passing a possible
relationship between musical skill and cryptanalytical skill: Georges
Painvin (probably the greatest cryptanalyst of WWI) played the violin,
and when the US was desperate for cryptanalytic staff during WWII, they
grabbed the personnel of an Army band, to many groans from the crypto
staff--surprisingly, many of the band members did quite well.
