CRYPTOGRAM­S

- Myles mellor

Cryptogram­s are encoded sentences, where each letter has been substitute­d with another. Each puzzle has its own code, but subsitutio­ns are consistent throughout that puzzle. A letter may not stand for itself. For example, JVVW could be code for KEEP, making every V in that puzzle an E, etc.

Last Week’s Cryptogram­s

1. A math guru asked: “I have three bottles in one hand and two bottles in another, what do I have? A student replied: “a drinking problem!”

2. A physics class talked and pondered on whether you can make a water bed more bouncy by using spring water.

3. A kid was asked by a teacher which book helped him the most. He replied, “my dad’s checkbook!”

4. A math teacher called the student average. It was an ugly thing to say. That was very mean!
