CipherQuest A

This is interesting.

After I had decoded enough to have letters like "the" I thought that this "t h e t _ _ _" could have meant thetans - it was the only word I could think of that matches this pattern, but I did not believe to find this word in that text (yeah, I've read about Xenu before...), so I tried to continue decrypting the text (using Emacs' decipher-mode...) but when I had "Hu___rd" as well I just tried if thetans could be correct

Finding the rest was just a bit of googling for the original text.

I thought it was gibberish... I didn't figure out the whole thing, and I ended up doing the pairing by hand using bigram frequency.

I soon decrypted the word "the" which led to more function words and made it easy to find out the rest.

changing the B to a Space and then google for the original text
