I had alot of things on my mind a few days ago, so I took a hike up the mountain to visit the world-famous Puzzle Sage. He's always full of great advice for me, whenever I need it. When I got to his house though, all the lights were off and the doors were locked. Taped to the front door, though, I found this note, addressed to me:
________________________________________________________________

"Tto afri it a thtoi itma tstasrtatfhe fi ans hboowpd nh itha int ehboues rttei lo pee nemm di tei ntse eldo, ade elalc tlissl iit ltentii yd yognence."

I can always count on the Puzzle Sage to provide me with some gems of advice, but I always have to do alot of work to find out what he is trying to tell me! Anyone want to lend a hand???

I swear noone ever tries to solve my Sage Advice puzzles. They just sit there with a big "0" in the reply column and mock me.

Edit: At least now it shows a "1" in Replies, but the fact that the "Topic Starter" and "Last Post by" both show my name and there is only a "1" in Replies still makes me feel pretty bad.

I requested a "Thread Views" column for the GL

, but I think it's something that may take coding to create...otherwise you'd be able to see that we do at least look at the puzzle. I just think anyone who has looked so far hasn't had any good input to offer.

I second the motion for a Thread Views counter. At least I wouldn't feel like I completely wasted my time.

I've been working on your puzzles. I'm just having problems posting.

Marvin · Pseudo-Yank

Well, here's your letter frequencies:

code:



 A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z


 9  2  2  5 15  3  1  6 15        7  3  8  8  2     3  7 20  1     1     2

So I'm guessing it's some kind of transposition (lots of E,A,T,I, no Q,V,X,Z,J or K)

Endymion · A bridge too far...

Interesting that the spread of letters is almost natural.
I don't think its a transposition though - problems with "tto" and "iit",
unless its written backwards of course - but then I'd have trouble with "pee".

Not only a bump, but also a little hint. Endymion said something very useful in his post. It may help to read that post and look at the puzzle again.
