On the Subject of The Inverted Green Cipher
It ain’t easy being green. Nor is it easy being a cipher.
On the module, you will see 3 screens, a keyboard, 2 arrows, and a submit button that displays the current page you’re on.
Pressing the right arrow takes you to the next page. Pressing the left arrow takes you to the previous page. There is a total of 2 pages.
On page 1, the top screen shows a 6 letter encrypted word, the middle and bottom screen shows a 6 digit number.
On page 2, the top screen shows a 3 letter configuration, the middle screen shows a word.
Follow the mechanics down below to decrypt your word:
Step 1: Homophonic Cipher
Config the table below so that the lowest value in that row is underneath the letter that is shown on the top screen of page 2. Ex: KGO means that 01 is under K, 27 is under G, and 53 is under O.
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 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 |
27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 |
53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 |
The numbers on the middle and bottom screen of page 1 is an encrypted word using the table you made.
Treat the middle screen as the tens place of each number and the bottom screen as the ones place of each number.
For each number, find them in the table and use the column of the number to get the letter that is above the rows of numbers.
You should now have a decrypted keyword that will be used in step 2.
