Introduction: We learned how to code Caesar Cipher that encrypt and decrypt's messages. First we learned how to encrypt and decrypt using a single digit key. After That, we learned how to use a multi-digit key. Finally using the skills we have learned, we found Ms. Trans missing cow using our decrypting skills.
Procedure: We started off by learning how to encrypt messages using a single digit key. Any symbols or numbers remained the same. after that we learned how to decrypt messages using a single digit key. For a encrypted message we learned to use the loop variable to show all possible options of the decrypted message from 1-26. Then we learned to encrypt and decrypt using a 10-digit key where each letter will be shifted by the corresponding digit in the key. We used these skills to solve riddles. We solved the first four riddles using a single digit key. finally we had to figure out the multi digit key. We got the first 6 digits of the key from clue 4. For the last 4 digits we had to just do the process of elimintion and kept trying using persistance. We got the code and found Ms. Trans Cow.
Clue 1 answer: Ms. Tran saw hoof prints by the back of the science classroom. She is panicking because her cow has gone missing!
Clue 2 answer: Max said that when he was dropped off this morning, he saw the cow with some JH kids eating mint candy near the Cue Quad.
Clue 3 answer: Someone mentioned seeing Ms. King fill the bowl with mint candies this morning.
Clue 4 answer: A student found a mint wrapper near the snack shack with a scribbled note: call me at 650806
Clue 5 answer: No one stole the cow. It walked to Ms. Sanchez’s office to get candy, then hung out with the JH kids.
SOUL: Strengths: Giving my teammates encouragement.
Opportunities: I could have helped my team more with the coding portion.
Understanding: This project helped me understand how to code Python.
Limitations: Im a really slow typer.
