Puzzle: Q’W P TSQNCACTSH WPYCX. USPU WDPEA Q ZPE USQER FDDT USCLKSUA POCLU ODQEK LEDWTNCHDF. – OXLZD NDD
Answer:
I’M A PHILOSOPHY MAJOR. THAT MEANS I CAN THINK DEEP THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING UNEMPLOYED. – BRUCE LEE
Step 1: Identify Short Words
- Q’W could be I’M.
- Q = I, W = M.
- P is likely A (since it stands alone).
- Q ZPE could be I CAN (from the context).
- Q = I, Z = C, P = A, E = N.
Step 2: Make Initial Guesses
- Q = I, W = M (from I’M).
- P = A.
- Z = C, E = N (from CAN).
Step 3: Apply the Guesses
Let’s substitute the known letters into the entire puzzle:
- Q’W becomes I’M.
- P becomes A.
- TSQNCACTSH becomes HIL_S_PH (suggesting PHILOSOPHY).
- T = P, S = H, N = L, C = O, A = S, H = Y.
- WPYCX becomes MAJOR (W = M, P = A, Y = J, C = O, X = R).
- USPU becomes THAT (U = T, S = H, P = A, U = T).
- WDPEA becomes MEANS (W = M, D = E, P = A, E = N, A = S).
- Q ZPE becomes I CAN.
- USQER becomes THINK (U = T, S = H, Q = I, E = N, R = K).
- FDDT becomes DEEP (F = D, D = E, T = P).
- USCLKSUA becomes THOUGHTS (U = T, S = H, C = O, L = U, K = G, A = S).
- POCLU becomes ABOUT (P = A, O = B, C = O, L = U, U = T).
- ODQEK becomes BEING (O = B, D = E, Q = I, E = N, K = G).
- LEDWTNCHDF becomes UNEMPLOYED (L = U, E = N, D = E, W = M, T = P, N = L, C = O, H = Y, F = D).
Step 4: Decode the Author’s Name
For OXLZD NDD:
- O = B, X = R, L = U, Z = C, D = E (OXLZD = BRUCE).
- NDD becomes LEE (N = L, D = E).
