4, 4, 2, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8...

calmsavior Apr 27, 2006	cool im the first one! this is a toughie, but is quite fun actually.
jlvsbeks Apr 29, 2006	i don't really like cryptography teasers, but this one was cool that was great
SEPTILLIONGOLDS Mar 19, 2009	good one
doehead Mar 19, 2009	Hate these type teasers. Didn't even try.
builder Mar 19, 2009	The answer was more confusing than the teaser. I glanced at the name and immediately deciphered Benjamin Franklin Then had a reference point for a well known quote.
kauphi1976 Mar 19, 2009	yeaah i got it in a few mins ! once you figure its jumble words, the header gave it away
Jimmymo Mar 19, 2009	EZ PZ. Saw it right off the bat!
UptheHill Mar 19, 2009	TOO HARD!! WHAT DO YOU THINK, MR.EMOTIONCON??
auntiesis Mar 19, 2009	Ben Franklin popped right out, but the quote eluded me. The answer was really confusing to me.
precious1026 Mar 19, 2009	I didn't think this was an easy Teaser. Good Teaser. Keep them coming.
Provlear Mar 19, 2009	Title is in no way a hint. However it's pretty easy to just unscramble the quote.
Bastet Mar 19, 2009	I love cryptography! Thanks for posting such a fun puzzle.
cacepc Mar 19, 2009	Very Easy. The type of cypher used is called a transposition cypher. As explanation for those who don't understand the quote: Lost time, like lost money, is never found again.
emu77alu02 Mar 20, 2009	That was very simple! when I saw that the quote was from Ben F., I just figured out the order from how I had to flip his name correctly. Good one and great quote!
WowItsJustRob Jan 30, 2010	There's a spelling error in the quote after deciphering it. P:
Babe Mar 19, 2012	NO COMMENT!!!
tripleteam5 Mar 19, 2012	TERRIBLE. The key was fine IF you knew " add this amnd move that. disapointing. no solvable without hours or cheating. DESPITE those who said they got it...
tripleteam5 Mar 19, 2012	Me again. Apologize for hogging 2 entries. the quote used by Ben was not a well known one. In retrospect, maybe I was overly harsh, in one aspect. FoF a trained cryptographer or a "Ben-ophile_. This was probably GREAT. For the rest of us, it was a "no chance" Many years ago I studied and taught American history, and was unable to retain this B. Franklin quote if I did ever hear it..
