CLOSED: JMG seed contest #7

Let's have some fun! What I am offering is 4 packages (6 seeds each) of Japanese Morning Glory seed to the first member who can correctly ANSWER these 5 questions. To make it more interesting I have written each question in the form of a "cryptogram", meaning your gonna have to decrypt it before you can answer it. Sorry, but you will have to figure out the code yourself :). For those who are unfamiliar with cryptograms this is how it works: you will need to "decrypt" the words by figuring out what letters "I" have substituted for the "real" letters in the questions. I made it easy so that your de-code will work for all the questions. After you think you have solved the questions you only need to post the ANSWERS to the questions to this thread - it is the answers to the questions that will count. If this contest is won within 24 hours I will throw in an extra package of seed. Anyone wanna play?

Oh my I don't even know where to begin.

LOL Kauai17.....you need some help?

Don't make fun of me I just figured out today what JMG stands for, hehe. It will take me sometime to figure this one out! I have never done a crytpogram before. Are some of the letters in the correct spot?

Quite okay :), at one time I did not even know what JMG was...lol. None of the letters are in the correct spot. The letters I used are substitutes for the real ones. Whatever the letter I substituted for the real one remain true throughout the whole questions....for instance, if I substituted the letter "o" for the real letter "e" it will remain true for all the "o's" being "e's" in the questions. Does this help?

oh its been a long day.. and oh my I dont have a clue... ahhhhh
maybe tomorrow it will look different and Ill take a try at it..sure that the within 24
hour thing for me isnt going to be a go.....

ha ha

Am I a stinker or what?....lol.

I am working on. Of course if I figure it out I probably won't know that the answer to the question is! If I figure out the questions can I email you to make sure they are right? Im getting serious now.

The questions are easy I promise. Yes, if you want you can email the solved questions to me :) ....however, you will more or less know yourself if you have the questions right if they make sense to you.

1--clock
2--newspaper
3--marshmallow
4--Forest Gump
5--Heavenly Blue

Congratulations to you Sandra! It is Blue Silk :)....send me your snail addy you cryptogramoholic!

Here were the questions in which Sandra answered correctly:

1.) This thing runs but cannot walk, sometimes sings but never talks. Lacks arms, has hands; lacks a head but has a face. What is it?
2.) I am back and white and red all over, what am I?
3.) Melting down
We sweeten up
The cocoa Cooling in your cup, What am I?
4.) "Life is like a box of chocolates..." comes from what famous Tom Hanks movie?
5.) What is the variety name of my blue morning glory?

congrats to you!!! Sandra

sheesh and i thought i had it hard tonight. daughters math homework.

wow.

For the answer to that last question I just went to your homepage and looked up the images you had loaded. There was the blue silk morning glory. I love cryptograms and always do those first in puzzle books.

LOL Windy! You were another fast one too :)
