  2. Ivana,

    You came close, but you don't have it right. Try again! Hint: you'll have to change two verbs to present tense, and a noun needs to be replaced with a definite article.

    Hope this helps!

  3. Israel, I decoded your strand to get a sentence nearly identical to Ivana (though I got "the" instead of "proteins"). Could you check your strand again?

  4. As one can argue that DNA is nature's poetry, I used poetic license to create this sentence: "I like to sleep and dream, like the unusual twisting-pizza-eating skull monster at school." :D

  5. :-) Perhaps poetry and genetic bases miss something in the translation!

    I think there was one error as well that might have led to confusion. Your second-to-the-last word should have been coded as GGU for "at" but ended up coded as CCU for "become". Here is my decode (and I've added in your artistic additions to show where the differences were).

    [start] I like to sleep and dream, into the unusual twisting-pizza-eating skull monster *become* school. [stop]

  6. I see it now.

    There was a mutation that took place. Its a new species that is evolving!
