Third Base (Posted on 2003-09-15) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Here are some newspaper headlines:

YOU RUB IT,
SHEEP DUELED WAR STEPS,
AGING BORED TO NUT PRAYED,
FOSSILL WINS A QUIT AND OIL IT

What is the most likely "name" for this newspaper?

A: WARRITIRE B: AT IT SPARED C: TANK CURE

Note: Spaces/commas count in this code, but are nothing in it. Also, treat all words to have one space/comma between the next word. (There is no space before the beginning or after the end of the headlines, or before each possible newspaper name)

Oops... sorry about that! :)

Also, think of what "Third Base" means, and remember that there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and between the words comes 1 space.

If you (levik) see any good hints after looking at the solution (given of course that you don't want to solve the problem!) you can too post them too... I am unsure of any other good hints that wouldn't give away the solution.
