The first puzzle I had set up the quote that you guys had to decode. The two formulas that I gave y'all was supposed to help, but it ended up only throwing you guys off--a job well done on my end.
Here is the puzzle:
puzzle H + 3 + 2^4 / 2 - 2 --> ? ?2 <-- ? + (-5) + 1 * 1 Quote: rN tpnslqt twk f tzuqjh jtuqju yymf wjf jfqqdw qjajwh. N ybfs tzd ty jmfa dr uwnej iltq. tL ty dr uxmt, ymjwj mtzqix jg f dynes jhti ymjwj. jhtijI yymf.
Here's the answer to this puzzle:
H was the letter of the alphabet that I wanted all of you to start at. It wasn't really a variable or an unknown. H = H. The rest was order of operations. So the first formula should've given you "H + 9 -->" Meaning translate the alphabet 9 letters to the right of H. Making H = Q.
The second part of the formula was supposed to be done in the same way, so your answer then would've been, "?2 <-- Q + (-5) + 1 *1" which in the end is "?2 <-- Q - 4" Making you move back four letters from Q, which would make H = M.
In essence you were translating 9 letters forwards and 4 letters back. Or just 5 letters forward.
Knowing the alphabet as F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A B C D E
F being A... E being Z
The message then being coded in the same way. The first letter moved over nine times to the right and then back four times, translates into:
Quote: "I'm looking for a couple of people that are really clever. I want you to have my prize gold. Go to my shop, there should be a tiny code there. Decode that."
Just in case you guys didn't understand how I did the words: tpnslqt = looking. The L in looking was moved over to the right nine times, and the back four times. I'm pretty sure you can figure it out now.
