YOU  KNOW  GAS  PRICES  ARE  GETTING  HIGH  WHEN  PEOPLE  START  PUTTING  CAR  RACKS  ON  THEIR  BIKES  —  MICHAEL FELDMAN   (host of Public Radio International's show Whad'Ya Know)

I  WAS  A  BETTER  MAN  WITH  YOU  AS  A  WOMAN  THAN  I  EVER  WAS  WITH  A  WOMAN  AS  A  MAN  —  DUSTIN HOFFMAN 

Many correctly noted that this is from the movie Tootsie in which Hoffman disguises himself as a woman to get an acting job, hence the strange statement as he addresses the woman he loves.  In the recent listing of the top 100 comedy movies of all time it was ranked #2.

In an interesting conversation with  Wayne Dodge,  a former radio operator during World War II, he pointed out that sending Morse code messages in groups of five made for easier and faster transmission.  Of course, not knowing word size helped in preventing decoding by the enemy.  Spaces were omitted but rarely led to mistranslation.

Correct answers for both puzzles 1 and 2 came from  Andrzej Derdzinski,  Wayne Dodge,  Jeff Gerken,  Alma Litten,  Julia Minturn,  and  Carla Nuenke.  In addition, correct answers to #1 came from  Delmar Burkitt  and  Sally Yocom.  Also I failed to acknowledge  John Jackson's  correct answer to the June cryptogram.
 
 
 

Puzzle 3 was the domino puzzle.  The correct answer is Bill had a double 5-set with 105 spots and Jim had a double 13-set with 105 dominoes.  If Bill has one size smaller and Jim one size larger the results are a double 4-set with 60 spots and a double 14-set with 120 spots (twice 60).  Correct answers only came from  Andrzej Derdzinski  and  Jeff Gerken.

I've just returned from an unforgettable fortnight exploring the Tyrolean mountains.  I definitely traveled on five or six cable cars, but I can't recall whether my ascent of the Schlipundschleidspitze was entirely by foot or included a helping cable car; if so, it was the least help I had from any of them. 

What I do remember is that the altitude risen, in meters, in each car was a perfect cube, and the cubes were consecutive.  Furthermore, the sum of these five or six altitudes used just four numerically consecutive digits once each, though in random order (like 4213 or 7865).

I also noticed that the cable ascents of the Uppundupberg and the Heittopf together came to a meter more than the cable ascent of the Kleimuppalp.  The ascent of the Langfall was shorter than average.
