You could kill some time with this

Post by Steve Jelf » Sun Apr 05, 2020 4:41 pm

Some of us like to do the daily puzzles in the newspaper. I always do the crossword and the cryptiquote. Here's one of the latter in the secret code Gary Alford and I made up in sixth grade. If you do the ones in the paper you should get this.

I am left wondering when it was that the last 6th Grader made up a secret code ?

Steve, it looks like you've made a mistake in the fourth sentence, "twice ac fast" should be "twice as fast".

Code broken BTW.

Looks like a combination of ancient Egyptian. Greek, Russian, and Chinese. I don't know any of those languages.
