Hi

Where do I start with this? There was no clues given?

Over the weekend, the kids thought it would be hilarious to swap all the letter keys around on my keyboard!
I correctly touch typed the question for today (without looking at the keys) and it came out as below.

What is the answer to the question below (in normal, unscrambled letters).

AEV DKTX GAFMMR QT TQTM?

[Tilly2]

Did they swap the whole keyboard, or did they swap the letters on each line?

I get it to

How many threes in nine

[Flonska]

Yes . . . three - well solved Emeritus!

[Tilly2]

How did you do that Emeritus, please?

Tilly- i think that a sit's a question the QT must be IN, ON or OF. I ruled out OF because that would last word F?F? which is unlikley (possibly FIFE). So QT = IN or ON the last word must be N?N? so NINE or NONE,
That makes M=E
I got to that bit and was just thinking of THREES when the answers came in

Process of elimination Tilly

I guessed the MM could only be EE or OO but with an M on the last letter of final word it was probably EE. The last word then had to have the same letter 1st and Third and the second letter (Q) was the start of the 4th word so had to be a vowel. Going through options Nine came out as Favourite for TQTM and that led me to Many for DKTX . so I had
??? Many GAF(EE)r In Nine
then took a stab at Threes for GAFMMR and that was it.

Hope that makes sense. It did in my head anway ??
