  1. Hi Laurel,
    You decoded my code but unfortunately you posted it to a different blog I had on my page and I didn't see it then someone else posted in my code and i have answered them already I'm really sorry for the mix up hopefully you can find someone else to decode. If there is any consolation you decoded mine right. Thanks sorry again.

  2. I'll submit a decode so you have someone to respond to for the remainder of your assignment.

    For the most part, good code. I'm wondering if there was a mutation in the coding process as the word "an" doesn't seem to make sense. Did you mean "to"? Let me know what your sentence should have been and check your code to see if a mutation did pop in there.

  6. I apologize for the delayed response. I'm still getting used to having an extra class! tsk tsk.

    I wonder if I mistyped one of the codons. I meant for it to read "Anthropology class was good AND we study skulls and fossils." -- i really wanted to say, fun but GOOD was as close as I got. --I read the wrong side. It should have been UCA not UAA. I should have double checked it, sorry for the mutation.

  7. Otherwise, You are both correct (obviously). the strangeness of the grammar was because of my error in reading the key.
