Identifying Codes Using Logic
This problem involves decoding a simple substitution cipher. We need to find the specific code word for 'heart' based on the provided examples.
Step-by-Step Decoding Process
- Analyze Given Codes:
- 'heart games' = 'alarm coffee'
- 'wrap' = 'bottle'
- 'wrap games' = 'bottle coffee'
- Find Code for 'games': Compare 'heart games' -> 'alarm coffee' and 'wrap games' -> 'bottle coffee'. The common word is 'games', and the common code is 'coffee'. Thus, 'games' = 'coffee'.
- Find Code for 'heart': Look at the first code: 'heart games' = 'alarm coffee'. Since we know 'games' = 'coffee', we can substitute: 'heart' + 'coffee' = 'alarm' + 'coffee'. By direct comparison, 'heart' must correspond to 'alarm'.
- Verify Consistency: The code 'wrap' = 'bottle' and 'wrap games' = 'bottle coffee' are consistent with the deductions ('wrap' = 'bottle', 'games' = 'coffee').
Conclusion
Based on the logical deduction from the given coded phrases, the code word for 'heart' is 'alarm'.
