I’m envious and filled with rage against myself. Perhaps, if I wasn’t lusting after The Colonel, and could get off my slovenly butt, I might be happy to have solved it.
Sure, always using Roy as an excuse…
here’s how it goes I got it by working it backwards:

Yup, that’s exactly how it goes.

A man wanted to encrypt his password but he needed to do it in a way so that he could remember it. His password is 7 characters long. The password consists of letters and numbers only (no symbols like ! or <). In order to remember it he wrote down “You force heaven to be empty.” Can you guess what his password is?

You are a prisoner sentenced to death. The Emperor offers you a chance to live by playing a simple game. He gives you 50 black marbles, 50 white marbles and 2 empty bowls. He then says, “Divide these 100 marbles into these 2 bowls. You can divide them any way you like as long as you use all the marbles. Then I will blindfold you and mix the bowls around. You then can choose one bowl and remove ONE marble. If the marble is WHITE you will live, but if the marble is BLACK… you will die.”
How do you divide the marbles up so that you have the greatest probability of choosing a WHITE marble?

[details=Hint]
The answer does not guarantee 100% you will chose a white marble, but you have a much better chance.[/details]
.

[details=Answer]
Place 1 white marble in one bowl, and place the rest of the marbles in the other bowl (49 whites, and 50 blacks). This way you begin with a 50/50 chance of choosing the bowl with just one white marble, therefore life! BUT even if you choose the other bowl, you still have ALMOST a 50/50 chance at picking one of the 49 white marbles.[/details]
I would put one white marble in one bowl and the other 99 marbles in the other bowl. You should have a much better chance of getting a white matble this way.

Forgot to post this one yesterday. No need to try and circle anything. Just make a list of the words you find.
Don’t we even get a hint at how many there are? 
Oh fine! There are a total of 40 words. Actually 41, since one word may be in there twice.
By the way, SOX is just a coincidence and not an actual word - at least not here.
