For what I can tell, it should be GD. They made an error. Not terribly uncommon. I made one in a geocache challenge and I was left wondering why nobody could find it. There is an excellent book on cryptography called "Codebreakers" that had a really fun cipher challenge but he goofed on the PKE and made it basically impossible to solve.
Some pretty good reads on the subject:

You also might check your local newspaper for "Cryptoquote." It's a daily quote that uses a different cipher each day. Great for practice!
