am yisrael chai-
Welcome back!
Thank you, but I haven’t gone anywhere.
OK, to continue:
The first word on the second line is clearly “MONDAY”. This gives us the Y, leaving:
MEET AT ‘D MIDTOWN MANHATTAN
The last line pretty clearly is “SAY OK WHEN YOU DECODE”
This gives us the S, K, U and C, leaving:
MEET AT KD MIDTOWN MANHATTAN
SAY OK WHEN YOU DECODE
The first two words on line 3 are clearly “ILL HAVE”.
The cryptogram is now solved, except for the time.
Also, how did you link Joseph’s post to “this post?”
Like so:
<strong><a href="http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/the-riddle-thread/page/8#post-17125">this post</a></strong>
The “strong” tags bold the text, and the “a” tags make it a link.
And why did you use that post as an aid?
As a demo of “shortcut” usage in decryption.
Can someone explain in a methodical, clear way the continuation of the solution for the product/sum riddle above?
“Dr. Pepper” did so, where the riddle was originally posted. He started with odd/even and prime number logic similar to yours.
