Bonus Activity: Results!

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Congrats to lollipop1311, she was the first one to decode the message!

The decoded message was:

Good job on cracking this code! This message is highly classified. I can’t say much as I might be caught at any moment, but there is a new mission coming soon. Also, the next issue of The Comet will be coming out next week.

And here are the next 12 people who figured it out, Great work all!

Can you decode the secret message?

ATTK QTW TN FRHFOMNA PDMB FTKE! PDMB LEBBHAE MB DMADVJ FVHBBMUMEK. M FHN’P BHJ LCFD HB M LMADP WE FHCADP HP HNJ LTLENP, WCP PDERE MB H NEG LMBBMTN FTLMNA BTTN. HVBT, PDE NEIP MBBCE TU PDE FTLEP GMVV WE FTLMNA TCP NEIP GEEO.

You can print the two decoder wheels below to help you solve the puzzle.
1. Print and cut out the circles.
2. Line up the circles on the black dots.
3. Use a pin or paper fastener to hold the two circles in place, the smaller circle on top. (you don’t need to tie them together but it’s fun!)
4. Rotate the wheel into different positions to figure out the code.

If for example, you think “P” is really “r” you would line up the “P” and “r” on your wheels, and write down the code. Then replace all the capital letters with it’s lowercase decoded equivalent. A good way to do this is write down the coded message on one line, and over each letter you write down the decoded letter.

First person to decode the message wins a prize. Comment on this post with your answer, but I wont show everyone the answers for a while. I’ll give people time to figure it out.

Good luck and have fun!


Bob waits.

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Bob is waiting. What is he waiting for? Bob is waiting to steal your StarZ. Not only that, Bob will make you think its your idea to give him your StarZ. He is that good.

You wonder how fish, pirates, Betty and now Bob could all be related. Something is coming… and coming soon.

More Confusion.

Betty the Clown has willed her way into the blog. I closed my eyes and all of the sudden she was just there.

What could it all mean? A barrel of fish, a pirate, and now a clown? In what way could it all be related…

Don’t Forget!

Hey everyone,

We would just like to remind you entries for this month’s Comet contests are due by the 21st. After that, entries will be disqualified, meaning no medals :(

As always, you can find our newspaper, The Comet, at www.fantage.com/newspaper1.html

Here is a sample joke we received for our Writer’s Den joke contest:

Knock knock
Who’s there?
Type
Type who?
No silly! Type boo

I demand more funnies! eh he he he…
