0 Guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 OK, I'll bite - how do you transpose the rows to make it solvable. I've tried lots of things but nothing gets it to anything remotely resembling an actual cryptogram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried lots of things but nothing gets it to anything remotely resembling an actual cryptogram. It is simple addition and subtraction. the first row is already in its original form.

0 Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) I got it: "the first use of the cryptogram for entertainment purpases [sic] occurred during the middle ages by monks" Label the horizontal rows 1 through 11: you need create a new matrix with row 1 remaining the same, but row 2 would now be (row 2)- (row 1), row 3 would be (row 3)- (row 2), etc. (ex. row 2 becomes [0 (14) (11) (20) 0 (26) (23) 0 (19)] This gets all the numbers between -26 and 26. Take the absolute value and assign the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.) Solve the cryptogram from there.
