In order to answer this question properly, you have to describe what is so unique about the sentence. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:38, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

An answer?

Here's something unique about the sentence: when translating it into a simple numeral substitution (A=1, B=2, etc.) the numeral 6 never appears (F=6, P=16, Z=26). Reediewes 03:59, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

That's not what's unique about the sentence and you haven't told me what article this sentence relates to. --AllyUnion (talk) 07:03, 15 July 2005 (UTC)reply

Answer

I'm going to take a wild guess. The sentence was retranslated from German after first being translated from English into German. The sentence itself refers to the method of encyption used by the Enigma machine, a famous encyption machine used by the Germans during WWII. -- Nis81 18:17, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Nope. --AllyUnion (talk) 07:25, 18 July 2005 (UTC)reply

Hint

Some one google search the phrase. Then explain to me why the sentence is so special. --AllyUnion (talk) 08:18, 6 August 2005 (UTC)reply

I know

It's every fourth word taken from opening paragraph of Substitution cipher.  Grue  09:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)reply

Correct! --AllyUnion (talk) 03:15, 7 August 2005 (UTC)reply
