Crime-fiction writer, John Connolly, wrote in his book, The Book of Lost Things that: “Unless you know the code, it has no meaning.”
Codes come in all shapes and forms; from Morse code, which is a series of audible beeps, to hand signals used between a pitcher and catcher in baseball. Yet, as Connolly so accurately stated above, most of the time a code seems like complete nonsense unless you understand its secret meaning. But once you find the answer to the puzzle, the satisfaction you feel is unbelievably rewarding.
Yet, how does one crack a code? Sometimes you need special training, like the FBI offers to select agents they teach the art of cryptanalysts to. Other times you just need purity of mind, like these 6-year-old students who were all able to answer a simple question most adults are boggled by.
Then there is the occasion in which you may just have a sharper mind than others.
For instance, the code below has confused many but once you solve it (that is, if you can) you will definitely feel a great deal of fulfillment…
The code below was part of a popular email that was forwarded often in the early '90s, when most people used AOL to access the internet and their email. Most were stumped by it, but can you solve it?
