Cryptoquote Spoiler – 04/13/16

“I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest.”   —   Katy Perry

(A little harder to do when you can’t write it out, like I usually do, directly over the cryptogram in the newspaper.  I had to copy it from ArkansasOnline to Word, but it copies it as an image, not as text.  And, I can’t print it out.  Fortunately, it wasn’t all that tough a quote.  Not the brainiest of BrainyQuotes, but what can you expect from a pretty and perky pop star!  Although, Marilyn was deeper than people gave her credit for.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/13/16

Visual Description:  Our local cosmos.

FRAWH  =  WHARF,  NORGP  =  PRONG,  SAJTUD  =  ADJUST,  SLURPA  =  PULSAR   —   Giving us:  WRPROADTLSA

Clue/Question:  The atmospheres of Venus and Earth are – – – 

Answers:  WORLDS APART

(A nice challenging Jumble!  It looks like all the clue words are old favorites, and three of the four jumbles have been used before.  Only “frawh”  appears to be new.  I struggled to un-scramble “slurpa”.  I had to back into it, and that wasn’t easy, because without the letters from the last word the answer wasn’t all that obvious.  But, I saw enough to figure that out, so I knew I needed an S, an A, and an L.  The answer letter layout didn’t give the answer away, in my opinion.  I’m looking at the reduced size cartoon today – and for the next couple of days – so it’s hard to see the detail.  But, I was able to make out Neil deGrasse Tyson!  The planets are definitely a little murky, due to the reduction.  I think it’s Venus to the left and Earth to the right.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
