WHATEVER  IS  IN  MY  SUBCONSCIOUS  IS  NONE  OF  MY  BUSINESS.    JOHN  BECKER 

The second one was: 

POLICE  BEGIN  CAMPAIGN  TO  RUN  DOWN  JAYWALKERS. 

Correct answers to both cryptograms came from  Delmar Burkitt,  Andrzej Derdzinski,  Steve Herrick,  John Jackson,  Alma Litten,  Julia Minturn,  Carla Nuenke,  and  Sally Yocom.  Also,  Bob Kaplan  submitted the correct answer to the first cryptogram.

Puzzle 3 was a multipication in which letters and asterisks replaced the true digits.  The correct substitution is shown at the right.  Thus, ODD codes for 644.  Correct answers came from  Andrzej Derdzinski,  Bob Kaplan,  and  Steve Herrick.

Steve  also should have been credited for all three puzzles last month.  Sorry Steve.

Uncle Joe had written the digits 0 to 9 on ten cards, some red, the others blue, one digit per card.  "Now boys," he said, "you have to arrange the red cards on the table to form a number, and divide the blue cards into two groups to form two separate numbers.  The 'red' number must be the product of the 'blue' numbers."

"Like this?," said Tom.  "Or this?" said Dick.  "Or this?" said Harry.

"All different, and all correct!" replied Uncle Joe.

Only Tom had included a single-digit number in his arrangement.  What was Harry's 'red' number?

To enter the Scamelot lottery you have to scratch off any six numbers from a scratch card like the one at the right.  Each week six numbers are chosen by the Scamelot ball-grabber.

Arnie always picks numbers from different rows and different columns.  He considers this lucky.  Betty thinks prime numbers are lucky and so chooses a random six primes every week.  Cher always chooses the same four lucky numbers and then, just for luck, chooses two higher numbers whose sum is equal to the sum of her regular four numbers.  This week, luckily, Arnie, Betty, and Cher all share the jackpot. 

What numbers were grabbed?
