Here is the encrypted message: 27, 5, 16, 6, 5, 31, 18, 14, 34, 6, 18, 34, 27, 10, 18, 5, 31, 13, 31, 9, 18, 4, 27, 30, 31, 18, 27, 18, 4, 0, 10, 11, 27, 2, 31, 18, 34, 27, 10, 18, 5, 31, 13, 31, 9, 18, 11, 9, 0, 31, 30, 18, 27, 5, 16, 11, 34, 0, 5, 33, 18, 5, 31, 14, 21 Decoded message: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Albert Einstein) This string of numbers represents a coded message. Each letter (based on the position in the alphabet), a space (SP), and each punctuation mark was given a number from 1 (for A) to 30 (for the explanation mark) in the first blank row of the table. Each number in the first row was then increase by 61 (add 61 to each number for the next row of the table), and this answer was converted to its congruent number modulo 35 for the last row of the table. To decode the message, find the numbers in the encrypted message and translate them back into letters. Show all your work to decode this message.
Here you will solve and break the simple code and decrypt a message.
