Hi Everyone!
As promised I have a puzzle for you today!
It is a Caesar Cipher but this time I am not telling you which way or how many spaces you need to shift the letters!

I will hold all comments for 48 hours with answers in them but 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
Fun Fact: I often use past t-shirt contest entries for Ally’s Tumblr page for Fan Art Fridays! So go check it out!

Shellie says
November 19, 2013 at 4:53 pmNope!
Livi says
November 19, 2013 at 4:54 pmOk, here goes. Is it to a shift of 19. And is the quote ‘Lies, we tell them to our enemies, we tell them to our friends and eventually we tell them to ourselves’? Sorry if you are or were still working on it.

November 19, 2013 at 5:07 pm“Lies,” Mr Solomon said the next morning as we walked into the class room. “We tell them to our friends,” he said. “We tell them to our enemies. And eventually…we tell them to ourselves.” He turned to write on the board.

November 19, 2013 at 5:27 pmI posted like three comments to help others yesterday but none got approved…Were they TOO helpful or something?
Livi says
November 20, 2013 at 5:42 pmI know, it said that they had not been approved and then I look today and they are all here! There must be something wrong with my laptop. But it’s really annoying because now it looks like I just posted the same thing.
Livi says
November 19, 2013 at 5:37 pmOk, here goes. Is it to a shift of 19? And is the quote ‘Lies, we tell them to our enemies, we tell them to our friends and eventually we tell them to ourselves’? Sorry if you are or were still working on it. I figured it out last night but wanted everyone to have a go as well. Thanks for the puzzle! I got my friends into Caesar ciphers too and we learnt all these codes.

Sorry if you are or were still working on it. Thanks for the puzzle. I introduced my friends to the Caesar cipher and then we researched loads of other codes as well.

November 19, 2013 at 7:37 pmIt says: Lies. We tell them to our enemies, we tell them
to our friends, and eventually we tell them to ourselves.
( I added in the periods and commas because it made more sense that way.)
Thanks for all the fun Ally and Shelly!!
Evelyn says
November 19, 2013 at 7:38 pmSorry Shellie! I didn’t mean to spell your name wrong!
Evelyn says
November 19, 2013 at 7:41 pmSorry:) I forgot to add the Shift. You shift the letters 7 to the right:)

November 19, 2013 at 7:40 pmLies we tell them to our enemies we tell them to our friends and eventually we tell them to ourselves. Shift to the right 7
Maria Junco says
November 19, 2013 at 8:10 pmOk here’s something that helped me:
In this word “XOXGMNTEER” notice how there are double letters at the end “EE.”
There are only so many letters that could be used as a double (O,L, etc.)
And then, when you figure that out, just fill it in for the rest.
Hope this helps!

Leo the Intersect says
November 19, 2013 at 10:25 pmThe Cipher translates to:
LIES WE TELL THEM TO OUR ENEMIES WE TELL THEM TO OUR FRIENDS AND EVENTUALLY WE TELL THEM TO OURSELVES
And can be found in Cross my Heart and hope to spy on Pg 185
Thanks for the fun contest!
Maria Junco says
November 19, 2013 at 10:37 pmThe answer is
:
“Lies, we tell them to our enemies, we tell them to our friends, and eventually, we tell them to ourselves.”
Book: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy
Chapter: 22
Page:185
I love doing these so much!
Olivia says
November 20, 2013 at 9:49 amThis was so much fun! The shift is 7 to the right.
The puzzle is: Lies, we tell them to our enemies, we tell them to our friends, and eventually, we tell them to ourselves.
So, just out of curiosity I wanted to see the place in the book that this was from. A lot of people are saying that it’s from Cross My Heart, Chapter 22, when Joe Solomon says “Lies. We tell them to our friends, we tell them to our enemies, and eventually…we tell them to ourselves.”
So, in the puzzle it says enemies before friends, and in the book, Mr. Solomon says friends before enemies. SO, either this was a mistake that we were not supposed to notice, or, it is actually somewhere else in the book. When I first solved the puzzle, I thought for sure that this was a Cammie quote, it sounds like something that she would be thinking in the book.
Also, there is the possibility that I am just crazy, since no one else seems to have noticed this but me.
