Question

help I dont know how to cryptography this code.GRAPE MA QLMVFGCB, BLLCRQU XRUX GPMRQUB, TFQBMPQMEK BTXLYNEL DLBM BXFVB PUPRQBM LPTX FMXLG. (Hint: Ciphertext B represents S). I need to know what it says

Answer 1

i will guess that "XRUX" is "that"
could be wrong though, i haven't done a crptogram since i stopped reading the newspaper

Answer 2

Not to be rude, but all i know is that XRUX is NOT that

Answer 3

oh ok

Answer 4

this is from the Games magazine, December 1985, i think

Answer 5

guess because that would make BLLCRQU end in an A

Answer 6

I am not sure

Answer 7

no not that either

Answer 8

it's also in the book Nature of Mathematics

Answer 9

I have never done one of these before

Answer 10

if B represents S, what else can we figure out?

Answer 11

i used to do these in the paper but they were easy enough to do without a pencil

Answer 12

not sure that was one hint then my teacher emailed me back and gave me a hint grape= rival

Answer 13

ok. let me figure it out....

Answer 14

oh well if grape = rival then we can do it

Answer 15

that was a hint not sure what it means

Answer 16

it means that G = r and R = i and A = v and P = a and E = l

Answer 17

RQU = ING?

Answer 18

maybe

Answer 19

I am lost

Answer 20

@satellite73 yup

Answer 21

seeming?

Answer 22

wait, maybe not

Answer 23

if RQU = ing, then what's PUPRQBM?

Answer 24

also, what is MA?

Answer 25

i tired looking online and I wasnt sure how to even decode it

Answer 26

wait, RQU is ing, and PUPRQBM is against

Answer 27

i guess we have to write it all down
i thought maybe it would just appear

Answer 28

against ok

Answer 29

I thought it would appear also but it doesn't

Answer 30

Answer 36

each other?

Answer 37

rival tv networks seeking high ratings constantly ___________ __________ _____ agaisnt each other. thats what i have so far

Answer 38

i never would have thought of TV
that was clever

Answer 39

how does grape= rival

Answer 40

g is 'code' for r and r is code for i, etc

Answer 41

so it says "rival tv networks seeking high ratings constantly schedule best shows against each other".

Answer 42

i think so, yes.

Answer 44
