The first five people to email me and Ngoc
the plaintext solution to the ciphertext below
will get a small prize + **tremendous bragging rights**

to: nick@cs.stanford.edu, ngocng@stanford.edu

Solve it by manually working out what the
character substitutions are.
Please do not use a computer or the internet
to do the substitution - just use your
brain and your knowledge of spelling and
punctuation to break the encryption.
This is a realistic step into code-breaking,
leveraging knowledge of likely words in the
plaintext to attack the encryption.

(optional) If you have a scratchpad showing your
messy thought process, scratching
out bad guesses etc., you can send us a picture
with the messiness intact.
It's neat to see people's "debugging"
brought to life on the page.
