Hey Everyone!

How do you win this AWESOME prize????

By solving this super tricky phrase:

LPVIY QJPN BMVIYDNNZU D ZOO CPN QJG NKDJIIZI OZ XMZNXZMZ VXJNOPHWMVYJN VG NDGZIXDJ.

First you will need to do a Caesar Cipher and shift the letters to the right 5 spaces.

Second you will have to translate to English from 5 different languages. (Words are grouped together in phrases so they will translate correctly)

Third you should have a 15 English word count as your final answer.

As usual, I will hold all comments for 48 hours, winner will be chosen randomly from correct responses, only US residence can win but please feel free to comment and just state commenting for fun!

    The translation is from page 225 in the hardcover copy of Out Of Sight, Out of Time at the very end of chapter 32. It is, “When you grow up in a house full of spies, you grow accustomed to silence.” Thanks so much for the giveaway, Shellie! You are too kind!

    The solution is:
