ROT 13 is a simple code where a letter is moved 13 places forward in the alphabet. For example, A goes to N, B goes to O, etc. For letters in the second half of the alphabet, move the letters 13 places earlier. T goes to G, etc. This should help:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Think of a large island whose last letter is a ROT 13 of its first letter. Remove the first and last letters and the result when ROT 13ed will name the general category of an endangered species there.

The image is a screensaver from the movie The Matrix and that guy's name was Neo. B and O are rot 13's of each other. The sun bear is an endangered species on this island that is home to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Let's not joke around!
ReplyDeleteI can solve this puzzle with no clothes.
ReplyDeleteGood Job, Leo.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking specifically Job 1:21, but now Matt. 6:26 seems more pertinent.

ReplyDeleteDiscerning observation, as usual, Lorenzo.
DeleteThis puzzle didn't really "bore" me (Let's not joke around=>LNJA=>YAWN). I was looking for a way to tie in the island's first syllable. In the bear world, a "guy" is a "boar", and a "gal" is a "sow". (I hope Jesus can take a joke.)
