Dividing Between the Lines (Posted on 2005-09-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Here is a chart of some of the black holes near Black Holes Bay:

REDUD@EFLIN-GOSYLZ@ROOM-GLA@KIVORES-B@BC@THID@@

(Hint: The @ are the black holes and they always appear in the right places.)

BLACK HOLES RESULT FROM GOD DIVIDING BY ZERO.

Breaking the puzzle on the dashes and replacing the @s with spaces you get:

REDUD EFLIN
GOSYLZ ROOM
GLA KIVORES
B BC THID 

Keeping the @'s (which are now spaces) where they are, shuffle the rest of the letters in each column until you get ordinary words every where.  Result is:

BLACK HOLES
RESULT FROM
GOD DIVIDIN
G BY ZERO

It's interesting that line breaks are also word breaks except between lines 3 and 4--that threw me a little.  I was looking for a one-letter word to start line 4.
