Rodney's Take Too
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
Here are a couple of quotes from Rodney Dangerfield. Can you decode them?
The same code is used for both puzzles.
P=X
"S YIXA TDOAZ KN CTFGAB SC FGSIED LABA VTZ ZHBSIE FGA ZAWBADDSYI. GA DTSZ FGA CSBDF DSP KYIFGD LABA VTZ, FGAI GA EYF HDAZ FY KA."
"KN LSCA TIZ S LABA GTWWN CYB FLAIFN NATBD. FGAI LA KAF."

Answer
"I once asked my father if things were bad during the Depression. He said the first six months were bad, then he got used to me.""My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met."

classic dangerfield.VERY COOL.
It tooka me a minute but i loved it
Cryptography is not my favorite type of teaser, no patience to try and figure out so didn't even try. Loved the Rodney quotes though, he is a great entertainer.Thanks for posting.
Not my bag of worms. Didn't waste my time.
I agree with bradon and doehead. Thanks anyway
Shouldn't it be take two (2), rather than take too (also)?
Hey, smarty ... how'd you do on this one?
I simply LOVE these things.
(For you math folks, when it is said P=X, that doesn't necessarily mean that X=P as well.)

Loved this one . . .glad it made teaser of the day! Congrats!
Well I guessed that S=I, and with only one "P" in the whole blank thing (big help), _ix must be fix, mix, or six, So D=f, m, or s. Peaked at the hint and got a little further, but grew impatient and looked at the answer. I'm more of a math person, but I won't give up on crypto.
lol. funny.
HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR CRYPTOGRAMS. THANK YOU FOR A GOOD ONE. KIND OF EASY, BUT WORTH A LAUGH.
Too hard for this coffee drinking woman!!!
