I need help
Is anyone here good with cryptograms? My friend put this up online and I can't for the life of me figure it out. If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic.

There appears to be atleast 2 different ciphers.
Starting on the assumption that "3vjdj" and "ovjdj" were THERE and WHERE, I've got that: 3vjdj gdj ovj psf3zjsp fx rjpojdrjgd? ovjdj 3gp zjedtp ts ovj gtd, fx qfkdpj njogip gsz ijgajp zkpo gsz gpv is Where are the snowdens of yesteryear? There was debris in the air, of course petals and leaves dust and ash Unfortunately, it doesnt seem like the cipher works on the rest of the msg. Ill work on it. quick note, "Where are the snowdens of yesteryear?" is from Catch-22, might help |

Woohoo! Was struggling with
+qim rihh htni w fviwx vwty +qeklq +qiv rwhh xwvnif +qi iyf er w fviwx and getting They fell like a dream rain Though ther fall marked the end of a dream by assuming +qi == the, but "ther" is a typo on the part of your friend, or where ever he got this. The complete (correct) quote includes the above lines, from the first cipher I solved: There was debris in the air, of course Petals and leaves Dust and ash They fell like a dream rain Though their fall marked the end of a dream Found the quote at http://books.google.com/books?vid=IS...cG1rw7VIhaysgg |

So the game seems to be a list of literary quotes, usually w/ one half of the quote in one cipher, and the second half in another. The problem is, not all the quotes are correctly enciphered
 (assuming I'm doing this right). If your friend posted them on a website, please post it a link.

Wow nice work lotronex. Spelling mistakes make it harder to solve as in the case of the kryptos sculpture.
