  2. I want to eat pizza from sleep before I learn about natural selection.

    I think is should be "and" (UCA=AGT) instead of "from" (UAC=ATG)

  3. Gustavo, I'll provide you with feedback. You and I came up with the same sentence. I wondered about that word 'from' as well but that could be chalked up to poetic license. There were no significant errors in the code. Well done on the decode.

    Nichole, if you check back, can you confirm that we decoded your sentence correctly and provide some input on your word choice. Thank you.

    Here is my decode for reference:

  4. You are correct! The "from" should be an "and" though, I must have had a dsylexic moment.

    Thank you!
