Decoding the Coding Language Puzzle

This problem involves deciphering a simple substitution code where specific words correspond to meanings. We are given three coded phrases and their meanings. Our goal is to find the coded word for 'race car'.

Step-by-Step Decoding Process

Let's break down the given information:

• 'goolo yarn' means 'blue sky'
• 'silko spadi' means 'bicycle race'
• 'goolo silko' means 'blue bicycle'

Identifying Word Meanings

We can find the meaning of individual words by comparing the phrases:

• Compare 'goolo yarn' ('blue sky') and 'goolo silko' ('blue bicycle'). The common word is 'goolo' on the code side, and the common meaning is 'blue'. Therefore:
  'goolo' = 'blue'
• Now compare 'silko spadi' ('bicycle race') and 'goolo silko' ('blue bicycle'). The common word is 'silko' on the code side, and the common meaning is 'bicycle'. Therefore:
  'silko' = 'bicycle'
• Using the meaning 'silko' = 'bicycle' in the phrase 'silko spadi' = 'bicycle race', we can deduce the meaning of 'spadi':
  Since 'silko' means 'bicycle', then 'spadi' must mean 'race'.
  'spadi' = 'race'
• Similarly, using 'goolo' = 'blue' in 'goolo yarn' = 'blue sky', we find:
  'yarn' = 'sky'

Finding the Code for 'Race Car'

We need to find the code for 'race car'. We already know that 'race' is coded as 'spadi'. The word 'car' is not present in the given phrases, meaning it will be represented by a new, previously unused code word.

So, the code for 'race car' should be 'spadi' followed by a new word.

Evaluating the Options

Let's check the given options:

• Option 1: silko zwet
  'silko' means 'bicycle'. 'zwet' is a new word. This would mean 'bicycle [something]'. This does not match 'race car'.
• Option 2: spadi silko
  'spadi' means 'race' and 'silko' means 'bicycle'. This translates to 'race bicycle'. This does not match 'race car'.
• Option 3: goolo breli
  'goolo' means 'blue'. 'breli' is a new word. This would mean 'blue [something]'. This does not match 'race car'.
• Option 4: spadi volo
  'spadi' means 'race'. 'volo' is a new word not used in the given phrases. This translates to 'race [something]'. If 'volo' represents 'car', then this option means 'race car'.

Based on our deductions, 'spadi' correctly represents 'race', and 'volo' is a new word that logically represents 'car' in this context.
