Me vs. My Page-A-Day Mensa Puzzle Calendar - 03/06/07

QUESTION: "A simple substitution code has been used to conceal a 'quote.' Work out the code to decipher the original words.

"Little Bo-Peep:
"QMFBTF EPOU CSJOH UIFN IPNF. J'N DPOTJEFSJOH B DBSFFS DIBOHF."





MY ANSWER: "Please don't bring them home. I'm considering a career change."

ACTUAL ANSWER: "Please don't bring them home. I'm considering a career change. (Code: A = B, B = C, C = D, etc.)"


CONSENSUS: I think we can rule out Little Bo-Peep as a suspect in the Zodiac murders. (But why does "I'm" get an apostrophe while "don't" doesn't?)
