Problem Set 2 COR 314-Mathematics and Human Nature 4. On your way out the door from COR 314 class one day, you stumble across a crumpled-up note that one of your classmates must have been passing to another their friend. Upon opening it, you notice that it's written in what seems like gibberish: MIZA GET O VEZAVI RWBUJ ED UEUEBWTQ You're about to throw away the code, but then you remember that you just recently learned about affine ciphers. You wonder-could this perhaps be encoded in such a cipher? (a) What can you figure out about the message based just on what you know about English? (b) Figure out how each of the letters A-Z are encoded using this cipher.2 (c) Decrypt the message. (d) Give the values of a and b that must have been used to create this affine cipher, as well as the values of a' and that would decode it. Problem Set 2 COR 314-Mathematics and Human Nature 4.
