This test really needs to be edited & revised.

The grammar was pretty bad in places, and often the usage in the clue and the answer were different.

Example: In # 6, the portion of the crypto that read "WJs" should have read "W J".

But it was a few minutes of good fun nevertheless.

I got a 27, by the way, before I gave up and peeked.

William E Miller said...

Oh and # 19 was just absurd.

Who - using the pattern set by the other clues - would translate "=" (especially when not separated from the other letters) as being "is"?

"13=UFS" as the crypto for "13 is unlucky for some people"?!?
