You need a mind as slippery as an Eel, and a talent for seeing things from a different angle to

understand H2IQ. A popular h2g2 quiz for several years, H2IQ returns to once again tease and

frustrate with questions and problems for you to solve. In each QED I will repeat a question once

used in the 'infamous' H2IQ quiz and all you have to do is answer it in the 'H2IQ Revisited'

conversation below. All those who give vaguely the correct answer will have their name printed in

the next published QED. Now for the question...

Decode the following cryptogram to reveal a quote from Einstein.
