Cryptogram answer
I haven't received any responses to my "hardest" Cryptogram
problem so I figure I won't make you ponder further.
A Roman general sent a message back to Caesar (enciphered of
course) explaining why his troops were delayed by the river.
The message was: AB CDEFG HIJKLM NOP QRSTU VWXYZ.
which may be translated: XV QUICK NYMPHS BEG FJORD WALTZ.
Sorry about that people but I couldn't resist.
It was just pointed out to me that giving the problem as a
Caesar cipher would have given the reader more of a chance
and would have fit into the problem nicer! I'll remember
that the next time.
