A Hamlet
Cryptography
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.Cryptography
Tyler went on the web one day and found a cryptography teaser. He tried and tried to solve it, but he couldn't. Can you?

very hard. i couldnt get it. but, you know, that just might be because havent read ANY shakespeare! good teaser
That has to be first Cryptography teaser that didn't even need to be solved..."Hamlet" in the title and the word lengths gave it away immediately!
I enjoyed this teaser - fun and easy. Always a nice way to make me feel smarter than the average bear!! Thanks so much. Hope to see more of yours soon.
I know nothing about Hamlet or any old english literature
i figured it'd be to easy
I got it without reading the title, just counting word lengths. Loved it, though. I like puzzles that I can solve.
hahaha... for once i was able to solve a teaser... hope to see more of your teasers someday! (^_^)
So cliche. Everyone knows that quote. If you're going to give away that it's from Hamlet, at least make it one most people won't know. Alphabetic shift ciphers are easy enough anyways.
That was really easy, but fun. Maybe the enjoyment factor was because I figured out how to say it in french last term, and have gone around quoting it ever since.
I knew nothing about Hamlet but I have heard that saying so many times that it when I checked the answer it was duuuuuuuhhh. Hope to see more of yours soon.
I got it just from the fact that it was by Shakespeare! I didn't see the title. Either way, it was good!
i got it just by counting the letters in the words
Very Easy...I got it by simply looking at the letters...When I think of Hamlet I always think about that quote...
I didn't even try to decipher the code. I looked at the number of letters per word and the only Hamlet quote (which just happened to be the answer) I know came immediately to mind. Nice teaser (I enjoy an easy one every now and then)!
Yes, needless to say, Tyler wasn't all that bright.
Uh...who's Tyler? I have a pretty good feeling this is a rather stupid question and that Tyler's probably the character who said that, but somehow, half my instinctive thoughts are way off. No harm in asking...
Dang. xD I was trying to figure it out by using what little I knew on cryptology, but I accidentally thought of that quote, and it ruined the cipher for me lol. Oh well, it was sorta fun.
To be or not be was the only one I knew, so I did that.
