A third grade teacher caught little Johnny passing a note. On the paper, it read:

SGOIGOX
SGOIGOX
SGOIGOX 

She thought it must be some sort of code, and so she asked him about it. “It’s what we learned today,” Johnny said. What did Johnny learn?

  2. This is the dumbest I’ve felt in days. I don’t get how the solution matches the code. Please help. Thank you.

  3. Hmm… Well, to those that don’t get it:

    SGOIGOX
    SGOIGOX
    SGOIGOX

    Split it apart:
    S GO I GO X
    Two GO’s in S I X
    repeated three times.

  4. I saw the challenge this morning and it took until now to figure it out. Even with reading the explanation by RM. I do not think my brain is working today. I amso almost hit another driver on my way to work. I need an extra flossing today.

  5. Yeah, it took me about an hour to figure it out with the explanation….I feel pretty deficient today.

  7. I couldn’t get this one either.
    I was thinking “3 times” and “six” — but I couldn’t figure out the go-go in there. Maybe if I’d have kept trying - or maybe not.
