You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).

Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.## ping list message

According to a bill passed by the Indiana House in 1897, the area of this circle would be 32, and square root of 2 would be 1.4. Much, much simpler than infinite non-repeating decimals. The bill's passage was suspended indefinitely in the Indiana Senate, unfortunately, inflicting great harm on mathematical science and human progress.

Circumference?

A= 32 isn’t even logical. The internal square has an area of 49.

My typo. Don’t blame the Indiana House. The Circumference would be 32, (8 x 4) and the area would be 80.
