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

WOW........HARD FOR ME, but loved it
Thanks wolfmanh.
These were great!! Nice job!! Keep 'em coming!!
This one sure ran up the ink bill. As they say in the PRC...Gong Bei
Theres no way i'd ever be patient enough to do that. lol Cool though.
didnt have the time to do this one either
I like these - even though it took me a while to figure them out. Thanks - good job.
Cryptography isns't my forte.
No time to devote to figuring this out. Too bad, it probably would be fun.
I like the quotes, but I don't like to take time to figure these things out. I just look at the answer.
I liked the quotes! but i didnt have the time,patience, or energy to figure them out! nice teaser !
hard but fun
this one was really difficult for me and really not enough time to divote to it what was the formula to figuring it out?
i agree with everyone . first of all cryptography is not my forte .this early in the morning taking so much time and effort sucks the fun out of it . maybe i'll try it the next time some hits on me !
i even checked the hint and still i didn't bother . god! i'm such a lazybones !

If you do enough cryptograms you can almost read them without figuring it out exactly. Try it next time. It will help get you started.
Fun topic, manageable with the Hint. My secret: paste it into MS Word, do find-replace, then you start to see words forming.
If you're going to do find and replace your need to remember to reassign the value of the changing letter. So, if you think X=N dont' just find 'X' and replace with 'N' but first replace 'N' (which hasn't been solved) with something else, like a symbol, then replace 'X' with 'N' and all the 'N's in the puzzle will be solved.
Man.....Dave spent i don't know how much time putting that together and everybody is complaining about it being too hard or taking too long or blah blah blah.....
Don't worry Dave, your time was not spent in vain...the huevos will solve the crypto teaser.
As for you Vigo.....

there are people on my side . look for vlerma. did you get my message ?

Zaya and Highlama - U.Rock! Thanks for your helpful hints!
Dave - does your teaser indicate a problem you have???

Hehe...they were funny!
Unfortunately I didn't take the time to try to figure this one out, but I love the quotes! Great job putting this together! Kudos for your hard work!
it was very nice although i really
didnt like that all the quotes were
of alchohal but that doesnt matter
because it was very good!!

I love cryptographs and do the 2 in my daily paper every day. Just like crosswords or other puzzles, you look for certain common letter combos and can often fill in certain words immediately. If not, so we work a little longer!! Loved them
VERY time consuming BUT, I wouldn't want it to be so quick & easy either! What would be the fun in that?!
Thanks for all the comments guys - both good and bad
I have to agree with those of you who who didn't have the time/patience to solve this first thing in the morning! For me, the teaser of the day should be a nice 5 minute maximum brain teaser. (I pity you all if they ever choose my Bowling Buddies teaser )
The other downside is that, because Cryptos aren't everyone's cup of tea, the popularity of this one dropped from 2.9 to 2.64
itechkids and hockeygirl - all my cryptos have a 'theme', and as I submitted this one between Christmas and New Year, for some reason I had alcohol on my mind

OMG! That was incredibly weird!
Well send better (easier) ones next time! By the way, I liked that Lucille Ball one whoever sent that.

Not to good with cryoptos. Good job you stumped me.
