Crack the Code!


One of the lessons that you have to learn in life is that not everyone is as smart as you are. Working with people that have educational shortcomings is part of life! The following is an encrypted teaching evaluation of a (male) math professor written by an undergraduate majoring in golf. Be forewarned: there are many errors in the plaintext.

WARNING: This cryptogram contains at least one "fixed point". These are letters of plaintext that encrypt to themselves as ciphertext. (For example, J encrypts as J, or something like that.)

Good luck!
