We Come From ?!-Part 3
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
After about half an hour of bewilderment, Andy rushed over to his boss' office.
"Sir I think I've solved this second cryptogram, but it makes no sense"

"Hmm.........I have the same problem. Maybe this cipher is related to the others"
After mulling over the codes some more, Hyde startled Andy by exclaiming "Ha!"
He had a big grin on his face. "Bad poetry and weird math go together with these freaks!"
Andy was totally bewildered, "What are you talking about sir?"

Hint
1.Y=o, D=r2.Look closely at the letters in each line. The last cryptogram from the 'aliens' show a similar pattern.

Four numbers tell a tale
Lined in series they form a trail
Hidden among them is another for more fun
Just look how many planets away we are from the sun
If you count the number of letters in each of the four lines of the message, you'll see something interesting. A number series "forms a trail"
20.., 27.., 34.., 41
Of course, the number "hidden between" them is 7.
The last cryptogram the 'aliens' sent, had the number series 16.., 23.., 30.., 37 corresponding to the number of letters in each of that messages lines. Clearly a similar pattern to this present message.
If you've read Part 1 in this quirky adventure, you'd realize that Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun. Bad poetry and weird math indeed!
