Hey All!
This week’s mission is in 2 parts:
First solve the cryptogram.
Second name 2 things on the list. (This will make sense once you solve the cryptogram)
QLYW USI MYSW YD WQFSICSA RKF SCAKR CS U RYQ WFMLFR LYYX YD U RYQ WFMLFR DUMCZCRG, EPR SY YSF VCZZ RFZZ GYP VKG
For those of you who have never solved a cryptogram puzzle before, the rules are simple… It is basically a secret code where different numbers, symbols, or in this case, letters, represent a different letter.
Prize up for grabs:
A signed copy of United We Spy PLUS a mug & notebook from the International Spy Museum!!!
Standard rules apply: 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! Please only post your answer one time.
Also, I will allow comments that are tips or encouragement for each other! I know all the Gallagher Girls work better as a team!
Good Luck,
Shellie

October 22, 2013 at 9:04 pmThe answers (I hope) are:
1. The cryptogram: “PROS AND CONS OF SPENDING THE NIGHT IN A TOP SECRET ROOM OF A TOP SECRET FACILITY, BUT NO ONE WILL TELL YOU WHY:”
Book: Only the Good Spy Young
Page: 24
2. Two things on the list:
a. PRO: Knowing there are fifty operatives and at least two hundred cameras between you and the people trying to get you.
b. CON: Realizing you know even less about those people than you thought you did. A lot less.
I love these Magnificent Monday puzzles! They’re so much fun and I hope we get to do more!
