Hidden Homework Assignments
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.
Mrs. Kodiac added an extra challenge when she typed this week's homework assignments for math, literature, science, and history. She hid the homework assignments in the following secret code.
,syj
[shr doc rcs,[;rd yep yjtpihj yrm
;oyrtsyitr
trsf [shrd yermyu yjtpihj docyu
dvormvr
etoyr i[ upit ;sdy rc[rto,rmy
jodyptu
trsf vjs[yrt rohjy smf smdert yjr wirdyopmd sy yjr rmf pg yjr vjs[yrt
What should the homework assignments really be?
HintMake a chart and list the alphabet. First, guess and check to find the letters to match each subject. Then guess and check for the unknown letters. Or, look carefully at your keyboard.

Answer
Mrs. Kodiac's code has to do with the way she typed the assignments. The code for each letter is the key to the right of that letter on a standard keyboard. Here are the real assignments:
Math
Page six, examples two through ten
Literature
Read pages twenty through sixty
Science
Write up your last experiment
History
Read chapter eight and answer the questions at the end of the chapter

| Never thought to check for the key to the right of the correct letter..
I opened up notepad, broke the code for the subjects by matching the number of letters per word, and from there, was able to break the code.
Great code |

| My teacher said we couldn't solve this sitting down at a table, and said we had to go to the computer. It was easy to do after that. You got this from a certain website, plaugurist! |

| Peanuts. The code it self is a simple cipher, and there for quite easy to solve vis character frequency, repearted words, etc. However, the hint about keyboards, and the presence of the brackets and commas in words made their entire think fall into place. Not bad without the hint though...
