Remarkable man, remarkable truth (Posted on 2005-11-09) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Last century, a remarkable man stated this remarkable truth:
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The letters, punctuations signs, and spaces between words (one space is denoted by a "/") are scrambled, but to help you to figure out the comment and its author (whose name is between parentheses) all you have to do is just rearrange them in the respective column. That is, in the first column of the answer, there´s a space ("/"), two "T´s", and an "O"; in the second column, there´s an "O", an "N", and two "H´s", etc...

Note: No words wrap to the next line. There may be more than one space at the end of each line.

(In reply to re(2): Not cheating by goFish)

I based my comment in Mindy´s comment, and I know that he would find the answer, no matter what.

By now, I think that I shouldn´t give the author, to become a more difficult (probably more interesting) puzzle, though it could be only solved by a sistematic trial and error. But the words were there and made part of a context, they were not "only" words to be found.

Perhaps, not all my problems are of good quality, but I try to submit, sometimes, one of a different kind. There´s a lot of logic and math problems (mine) in the queue, but I think that users expect, also, some "new" puzzles. And not only hard puzzles, too.

About your asking, the JM and the scholars are following rigorously the position of the problems in the queue, what seems fair. I don´t know what´s the number of problems that should be released each day, but you could write directly to Levik (petition) and submit your suggestion.
