Coincidentally, the NSA is at my school today. They're passing out flyers[0] with a cryptography puzzle presumably to recruit students.

Not sure if it's my mistake or their mistake, but there are two typos in the cleartext.

The very first word in the instructions, "cryptograms" -- coincidentally the entire subject of the exercise -- is misspelled. Pretty sure that will fall on them. It's not very reassuring in an agency where attention to detail is of paramount concern.

Since you're giving your solution, might as well spell out the message.

"when angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, an hundred" -thomas jefferson

"when angry, count four; when very angry, swear." -mark twain

I thought by the instructions they meant the same code that is used in the example "The Smart Cat" was used in the 2 codes below, but then it made no sense. -_-
