Canon: The Valley of Fear, Part 1 (VALL)
Title: A Crude Cipher
Author: ennui_enigma
POV: The reader
A/N: Below is a simple little brainteaser inspired by Porlock’s code. Decipher to find a famous quote from the ACD canon.

Goal: to "amuse the intelligence without fatiguing it"

As my copy of the almanac is imaginary...this could take some time....

I'm afraid I won't have enough time to do that one (though by today's standards, I suspect a website to be the clue ;P), but I love the creative idea!

Oh yes. And once I'd realised what the code was I was keen to be the first to solve it!

I think you should. Or if not the answer at least the explanation of the code, which I thought very clever.

Wow, this is neat work. I must say, my code cracking skills are subpar, so I will be waiting patiently for your point in the right direction this weekend! :)
