Navi's Crazy Cipher Confusion
Hey, Navi found a hint to his adventure in The Adventures of Navi Vol.2: Introductions. However, he is confused because it appears to be ciphered, so he cannot read it. The only thing he can read is something that says that the key is equal to 5, which makes no sense. Can you help Navi use a Caesar Cipher to break the following code:
Key = 5: YMJ YMN FYYFHP
A Caesar Cipher is where each letter in a message is changed to one a certain distance further down the alphabet. This puzzle requires a key to know how far to look up the alphabet to find the true letter. For example, if we are given the ciphered letter M, and our key is 4, then that means we should count back four letters from M in the alphabet:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
Therefore, the actual letter is I. This rule also applies if a letter is at beginning of the alphabet line, but you need to go down from Z after passing A. For example, if our key is 2, and our letter is A, we would count back two from A like this:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
Therefore, the actual letter is Y not A. Now that you know what a Caesar Cipher is, go back and see if you can help Navi discover a hint about his most recent adventure.
