👋 Hello, Ready for a mental workout? 🧠 A Cryptogram is a classic quotation puzzle frequently featured in daily publications. I source the best and most challenging ones to help keep our minds sharp and boost cognitive health!

🧩 How the Cryptogram Works

In a Cryptogram, a single letter always stands for another letter.


(Example: AXYDLBAAXR might translate to LONGFELLOW. This is just an example and does not apply to today’s puzzle.)


If this is your first time, don’t be intimidated—the game is very addictive, and you will quickly master the technique! If you find yourself stumped, simply take a break and return to it later. ☕

Ok, I’ll believe you if you say it’s true...

Truth is relative in this matter.

Pretty high faluting talk for a patent examiner, second class.

That was the part of quantum mechanics that today’s author objected to. As did Schrodinger. Schrodinger proposed the cat thought experiment to refute the notion of superposition. Today’s author got the Nobel Prize for his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect, which used Planck’s quantum theory to explain the unexpected observations, and extend quantum mechanics, not for anything to do with relativity, though that is what he is famous for.

His original formulation of E = mc2:

“Gibt ein Körper die Energie L in Form von Strahlung ab, so verkleinert sich seine Masse um L/V^2.”

Translation: “If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/V^2.”

Modern notation, mass = m, L (energy) = E and V (lightspeed) = c

Δm = -E/c^2

Thank you!

I wonder about the attribution for this, looks more like 1980s disco claptrap.

Roll the dice.
