Cryptography
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.Cryptography
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.

Hint
Make 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

i got the code and started to work it out but then lost track of wwere i was on the screen so i cheated on the final answer - sorry
Ahh! That was brilliant!
i lost my pen,, have u seen it?
I thoght it was really hard. I never could've guessed that!
Clever!
Clever!
Flew right by me. Didn't have a clue. Great one.
good 1...I felt really stupid after I saw the answer
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

Great code
LOL im dumb
easy but time consuming
Found it hard but worked it out after a while. Good Code
Freakin' easy. I didn't even feel the need to finish the code. I got to 'math page'.
i knew the subjects but not anything else
I am so, so, so, stupid!!!! LOL

You copied!
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!
Tat was good

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...

I actually gor rhis 1 b4 i looked at the answers!! i really liked it, though. thanks 4 making me feel so smart!!
I meant this instead of "rhis"
Man, that was pretty cool. I showed it to my dad and even he had no clue, hint notwithstanding (just like me).
and baconmasta can go *expletive deleted* himself for all i care. not all of us are that smart, sherlock, and thanks for making me feel so dumb about not knowing how to figure it out.
hard but very cool i had ia blast doing it

That is by far the best code i have cracked! Nice work

Now you just had to remind me i have homework, didn't you? Great teaser, but the code was so easy i missed it Keep up the good job
got it ! after reading the hint though... but got it ! great one !
