Guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 What on earth is this message getting at? The following is written on a piece of paper you picked up: “_ is 1,000 times _ _” To turn this strange message into proper sentence, all you need to do is fill in the _ with a single letter of the alphabet. But what letter could it be? You’ll need to use the same letter for all three _s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
