Crazy Problem Solving Question.

Ok, I tried to solve this problem for Math 1205 with Lagu, but I can't seem to do it at all. Any smartasses out there that could help?

haha WTF

My brain hurts looking at it.

I know. It's the craziest puzzle ever. I think you replace a letter with other letters to form a paragraph though.

B=A and D=I?

That's all I can see so far. Probably wrong though.

I've actually heard that a couple times. So, it might be true.

It's really not that hard actually. But first things first, it's the other way around: B = I and D = A. Also, the first word is "the."

If you can understand that so far, the rest should come naturally. I'll write out the answer as soon as I figure it out, unless of course, someone else figures it out first!

E=N, I think.

You, sir, are correct! Keep 'er goin'!

THE MIND IS NOT A VESSEL TO BE FILLED, BUT A FIRE TO BE LIGHTED. DISCOVERY IS WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SEEN, BUT THINK SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE HAS THOUGHT. WISDOM IS THE QUALITY THAT KEEPS YOU FROM BEING IN SITUATIONS WHERE YOU NEED IT.

That's the first bit.

Yes, Finally! I got the answer from a friend. So, thanks anyway for the help guys. I won't write the answer yet so you guys can finish it off. But yeah, You're right so far. Have the same thing.

There are a few words that don't seem to fit right. Either there are mistakes in the original paragraph, or I've made mistakes in my decoding.

There is a sentence, however, that says "Anyone can make mistakes but only an idiot persists in the error," so I think I'll let this statement conclude my thought and decoding for the night.

Yeah, especially that last sentence. "When" and "Intelltce" don't quite work out. Other than that, a fun little puzzle. :D

Felt like the most impossible puzzle ever to me. Until I found out it was a cryptogram.

I had to re-read that several times too. Obviously "intelltce" is an error, but if you place a comma before "when" (so after "God"), "when" can be made to work in the sentence.

But nonetheless, this was a fun waste of an hour of my time. At least my brain muscles are being put to use again!

must be some typos in there... i got this.... otehr then that with some punctuation... its readable

had frkm and intelltce in there

search an replace was great for this :)

[miik0]

Yeah this was an extremely long amount of giberish. So, I atually kind of expected typos. But you guys know what it's suppose to be.

I think thats suppose to be the last sentence

isnt that a Plutarch quote??
