About Two Pounds - A Very Difficult Cryptogram

The following text has a message hidden in it.


Was; I not done, chopping, back some brush with my mitten; when I heard an angel say "You're; not going to see; much here."

"Why won't, I see much?" I, said. "I; want to see something now!"

"My; aren't we in a rush?"; she, replied.

"Shouldn't; I be? It's my way;", said I.

"Oh yes; it is. I forgot you were Mr, X" she said.

Do you think the angel flew away with, X?

  3. um.. the thing says that every semicolon you encounter take away the character three spaces before it, and with every comma take away the character 3 spaces after, spaces counted. But still, I don't get this.

  6. You take all the character that are removed and it makes the answer.

    Example: W is 3 characters before the semicolon and H is 3 characters behind the comma, counting the space and so forth and so on.

    Solution:WHAT’S A “HENWAY”?
    Answer to question:
    Its an old joke. Used by the Marx Brothers, among others
    Freind: What's a henway?
    You: A hen weighs about 4 to 6 pounds
