• ā€œmacarthur parkā€
• ā€œlittle green applesā€
• ā€œthe look of loveā€
• sundry Beatles tunes

what, no ā€œvehicleā€? they got every other hackneyed cliche on there. I like 'em
tho.

I actually love the tune of macarthur park but the lyrics are beyond stupid. so far, my favorite version is this instrumental version

I read a book recently called ā€œCode Girls,ā€ about the women who worked on breaking German and Japanese codes during WWII. I was surprised to discover that one of my high school math teachers was among them (she was interviewed by the author). She’s about 100 now but she might be willing to help. Unfortunately I don’t know her phone number.

That is absolutely amazing! :heart_eyes: :smiley:

I don’t want to give away too much yet (spoilers!), but it’s a cryptogram puzzle. I love them, so for me it’s fun.

Let me know if you want a spoilered hint…

It can be attacked that way, but for some of the older tech folks that takes too long. :wink:
