Twain's Thoughts
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.
The two following quotes are from Mark Twain. Both quotes use the same code.
"YX WIN ASOO AZS ACNAZ WIN RIK'A ZTBS AI CSPSPESC TKWAZYKL."
"AZS PTK UZI RISDK'A CSTR LIIR EIIGD ZTD KI TRBTKATLS IBSC AZS PTK UZI FTK'A CSTR AZSP."
Answer
"If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything."
"The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
A = T
B = V
C = R
D = S
E = B
F = C
G = K
H = Q
I = O
J = P
K = N
L = G
M = J
N = U
O = L
P = M
Q = Z
R = D
S = E
T = A
U = W
V = X
W = Y
X = F
Y = I
Z = H

| I'm not good with this type of teaser. Just not my thing. Sorry. Thanks for posting, though I'm sure others like this kind a lot.  |

| I like the quotes, but I must admit that I am not very good at these kind of teasers.  |
