Forrest Gump Quotes
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
The following quotes are all by Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks), can you figure them out? They all use the same code.

One of my all-time fave films, good crypto, too
somethin bit me in the but-ox.
Good teaser, from a film i love
i luv the mu-v... i new the "box of chocol8s" 1, but the othrs wer hard... gud job!
How true! Life is like a box of chocolates... Nice one Swaff!
i like that movie
haha, i luvd it! the mu-v's 1 of my faves... 'speciali lykd #2: "My name's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump."

Very nice ! Got it and enjoyed the figuring thoughit took me a while.
Fun teaser, great movie...after working on these, I got out my DVD and enjoyed the movie again.
As usual SWAFF, you are the man. What a great cryptography. And the way you did your hint really made one think. Took me a while, but I got them. Now Tom Hanks is something else too. Great actor, kind of like John Travolta (sorry I'm sure I spelled that wrong). Anyhow they both started as real nerds on TV, but look at them now. They definitely could do the "How do you like me now" song. Great job, and please give us more of these.
WAS THIS A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT?
I lovre the movie I can say it like he can. I happy to see that on the brain teaser.
SWAFF, Thanks for the GREAT Brain Calisthenics!!! Ouch. My brain hurts!!!
Just a hint about Cryptograms. Dont concetrate so much on the code. If you try to just read it first, it is a lot easier. Know the topic and then scan it and you often can figure it out before you work it.
Cryptograms not a favorite of mine. I actually figured out the quotes by not using a code. Thank you for submitting this.
I don't have the patience to figure out cryptograms, but I appreciate the work that goes into making them. I also love "Forrest Gump" and the box of chocolates quote. Further to that quote (I made this part up)... if you get one of those yucky fruity creme filled ones, just spit it out and try again.
i dont get it but i'm sure i would have loved it if i was smarter
what's cryptology?
i never saw that movie but i wanted to

Not fun. Way too hard.
What was that, ?????????????
I agree with Coachpisco 100%.
I totally agree with the person b4 me! it was really hard and the code had NO point...watsoever! sorry it just didnt work 4 me!
Codes aren't really my thing, but this one worked out well. Now if only I could make up my own (that I could remember)....

I enjoy doing this crypto quiz in the Sunday paper. Would like a clue, i.e., f= s
These types of "teasers" just don't do it for me...
These teasers don't do it for me either. But I love the movie and figured out the quotes on my own without the cryptograms.
Great Cryptogram!
It was all the more enjoyable because you chose such a fun topic! I'm not a huge fan of cryptograms, but I worked these out and found myself laughing at Forrest's sweet innocense.
Thanks!

Hello:
No, I can`t. Can you? If you can, you are smarter than I am. quack - quack

Normally, I don't like cryptograms either, but this one happened to be pretty easy. I knew the "box of chocolates" line had to be in there somewhere, so I looked for a pattern that fit that and figured it out from there. Trust me, I suck at cryptograms so I'm usually the first to say they suck, but this one was fun. Keep 'em easy like this and I may just grow to like them...
i liked this one.i love Forrest Gump!
loved it!
i never saw the moviy and i was confused
my roommate told me that a lot of your teasers were ....., but this seems like an exercise to keep school children busy when you haven't prepared a lesson plan.
Thought it was fun, though it didn't take much thought to figure it out when I've seen the movie a dozen times.. Thanks all the same, it really was lots of fun!
