One could even obtain a paper sudoku book and "solve" a portion of the games, with one preselected one being "filled in" for the key one is transporting. Most "police" types are not likely to look twice at a paper sudoku book, and certianly are not going to "verify" that the partially solved puzzles are all correctly solved. And, if one was worried that some stazi type might "verify" the puzzles for correctness, then just solve ~ 50% of the puzzles in the book correctly, and choose one of those 'correct' puzzles to be the source for the 'key'. And key source can also be obsfucated somewhat, in that one could combine the numbers in a pattern (zig-zag, circular, etc., i.e., anything other than left to right top to bottom).
