Baseball Puzzles

By Tangotiger, 02:13 AM

Now this is a great idea!  Good stuff Ken.  Not sure if it’s blocked or what, but here’s one of the three puzzles:

QGEQ SB QGC CZQSYC RSXXCYCZIC NCQFCCZ BENCYOCQYSIB EZR

QYERSQSDZEJ BHDYQBFYSQSZU.  SQ SBZ’Q QGC KBC DX BQEQSBQSIB .

SQ SBZ’Q QGC KBC DX XDYOKJEB.  SQ SB OCYCJT QGC GENSQ DX

NCUSZZSZU FSQG E WKCBQSDZ, YEQGCY QGEZ NCUSZZSZU FSQG

EZ EZBFCY. – NSJJ VEOCB

Because of the ‘Q, the q is an s.  There’s 3 SQ, meaning S is either a or i. There’s a solo E, making that a or i also. 

It’s 01:17.  You guys do the rest, as I’m going to bed.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
