Can anyone solve this one? I'll be very impressed if you do.

is it from this site?

Who is the author?

[bansaisequoia]

Dr Who?

No, it is not from this site. That would be cheating if I asked help from others. The author is unattributed. I hope that helps, kat!

[imported_kat]

Not cheating!

I would never think you were trying to cheat...just thought you'd solved it and thought it was particularly difficult and wanted to share. I've looked at it and it looks like a monster. I think it would frustrate me too much so I'm just going to back slowly away from it...

After a half an hour of pondering and puzzling here is what I cane up with...

That thing's Like impossible!!!

Same Here

I tried it also and gave up after almost an hour. I'm sure glad it wasn't on this site!!

How about?

Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz

Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz

lol, Let's see if that works...

JACKDAWS LOVE MY BIG SPHINX OF QUARTZ...

oh my gosh, it fits...

I also just realized that each letter in the code is only one off from the actual letter (except for Z being A)...

B=A
K=J
C=B

[imported_kat]

really?

Who does that? That's just wrong. Why would jackdaws love a sphinx of quartz? I just think a crypto should make sense....LOL!

[Laura]

Yikes!

I agree, Kat. Otherwise it might just as well be in another language.

But nice solving, Maradnu. That's very impressive!

[smoochie222]

all the letters in the alphabet

I think it might be a keyboarding phrase like "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" or a panogram like "The five boxing wizards jump quickly." Anyway maradnu you ROCK.

[bansaisequoia]

Outstanding!

Great solving! The No-Prize goes to maradnu. Every year in Las Vegas, they have a Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament and the winner receives $50,000. If you win the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, you only win $4,000. It just doesn't seem fair.

Wow

Marandu, I am extremely impressed. Way to go! I had no luck when I tried. That's amazing!

[maradnu]
