There are also letters next to the stars on the outside of the circle which are encrypted using a Caesar Cipher. To decrypt the letters, you must find the key for the cipher.
To get the key, find the keys of the top 3 stars on the module starting with the star 1 counter-clockwise from 12 o’ clock (X), then 12 o’ clock (Y), and then 1 clockwise from 12 o’ clock (Z). Use the table below to convert the keys of X, Y, and Z to a key for the cipher.
In the table, the “Keys” column refers to the keys of the stars (the order is irrelevant) and “Key” is the key for the Caesar Cipher. Note that you have to subtract this number from the alphabetic position of each letter since you’re decrypting.
Keys | Key | Keys | Key | Keys | Key | Keys | Key | Keys | Key |
ABC | 24 | ACF | 22 | AFG | 22 | BDG | 13 | CEF | 14 |
ABD | 19 | ACG | 13 | BCD | 5 | BEF | 7 | CEG | 1 |
ABE | 12 | ADE | 25 | BCE | 1 | BEG | 14 | CFG | 24 |
ABF | 25 | ADF | 7 | BCF | 10 | BFG | 11 | DEF | 12 |
ABG | 14 | ADG | 13 | BCG | 18 | CDE | 9 | DEG | 22 |
ACD | 3 | AEF | 20 | BDE | 6 | CDF | 14 | DFG | 13 |
ACE | 11 | AEG | 25 | BDF | 22 | CDG | 6 | EFG | 10 |
Notes:
If a star has a ‘#’ next to it then the star does not have a letter to decrypt.
There may also be letters italicized on the inside of the circle, these letters are used when colorblind support is active, do not try and decrypt these letters for this step.
