CRYPTOGRAMS
Sunday February 24
by Catspaws
The kitty had a birthday, but did anyone remember? Nooooooooo. Not even one catnip mouse showed up for the kitty this year. So in retaliation, we invaded the Mustange Club on Marina. If the prezzies won't come to the kitty, the kitty will go to the prezzies! (By the way, Djentsch, you might want to re-stock your bar fridge...)
Since cats are wonderful, and cats begin with the letter "C", this week's puzzles celebrate all the furry kitties, real and imaginary. Fancy, Zand and Cloudbase figured out these special names in the first puzzle.
Player Names Containing the Letter "C":
INSLZR
ZIID
CANZI
ISKTMSVT
SNSIQSKZ
SNIKEI
Fancy, Captainfuzzy, Tuckerliv and Zand all proved they know their commodities (probably from hauling them so much).
Commodity Names Containing the Letter "C" (http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/guide/trading/commod.html):
JWKHQZXK
XQWVSWHDMRZHWCK
SDHQXWVRK
LZGZHWKRDVK
NZEHQZXK
WVRZOWHRK
Commands are wonderful things. Ask any dog. Fancy, Zand and Captainfuzzy all showed they understand commands as well. But, can they roll over and play dead?
Command Names Containing the Letter "C" (http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/commands/index.html):
PYNHQB
KMQVYB
QLBNK
UMQVRU
QRWWYB
XQGDB
I thought I'd trip everyone up with the system names, since it's rather a pain to wade through the scroll of a Display Systems display, but all five players managed to solve this puzzle.
System Names Containing the Letter "C":
SFUUNU
YDSHLHSD
KWUHSF
WDSUQWDSP
SWDIZ
DSGU
Our final puzzle fell into the "think like the kitty" category. I was hoping to stump Fancy, but Tuckerliv fell victim instead.
Things to do with a Crystal:
KBAA TE
QJZ TE
KECPB TE
UJE TE TG R PTGD
KETMW TE TG ZCJP UCMWBE
DTFB TE RORZ
When the scores were tallied, Fancy came in first, Zand surprised us by coming in second, and Captainfuzzy stole Zand's third place trophy. Be sure to join me each Saturday at 4.00pm eastern for the most exciting brain teaser in Fed, Cryptograms.
