Hey, who would like to take a turn at being the puzzlemeister for the next round?

Paul discovered a cryptogram-making program that makes that part of it very easy.  You just type in the phrase, push a button and it codes it into a cryptogram.  We're on our third round so far.  David puzzlemeistered the first one, I did the second, and now it's Paul.  Anybody want to give it a try?

I'd be happy to give it a try, but not until after the weekend.  Let me know.

That's great, Fran, thanks!  Hopefully that'll be round 42 by then.  :laugh:

How cool is that!

Fran (wondering if there's one that does it in reverse)  :)

No foolin' it's cool.  I FRIED my brain making those puzzles for Round 2.  It's really, really easy to make a small error that screws it up.

Any takers to be the very next puzzlemeister?  I could do it again, if not.
