Decoding ZEBRA to ZQADY Pattern
To find the code for HINTS, first analyze the pattern used to encode ZEBRA as ZQADY. We compare the letter positions in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
- Z (26) becomes Z (26): The shift is $26 - 26 = 0$.
- E (5) becomes Q (17): The shift is $17 - 5 = +12$.
- B (2) becomes A (1): The shift is $1 - 2 = -1$.
- R (18) becomes D (4): The shift is $4 - 18 = -14$.
- A (1) becomes Y (25): The shift is $25 - 1 = +24$, which modulo 26 is $-2$ (i.e., $1 - 2 = -1 \equiv 25 \pmod{26}$). The shift is $-2$.
The sequence of shifts applied is: +0, +12, -1, -14, -2.
Applying Code Pattern to HINTS
Now, apply this sequence of shifts (+0, +12, -1, -14, -2) to the letters of HINTS:
- H (8th letter): Apply +0 shift. $8 + 0 = 8$. The 8th letter is H.
- I (9th letter): Apply +12 shift. $9 + 12 = 21$. The 21st letter is U.
- N (14th letter): Apply -1 shift. $14 - 1 = 13$. The 13th letter is M.
- T (20th letter): Apply -14 shift. $20 - 14 = 6$. The 6th letter is F.
- S (19th letter): Apply -2 shift. $19 - 2 = 17$. The 17th letter is Q.
Final Coded Word
Combining the resulting letters (H, U, M, F, Q) gives the coded word HUMFQ.
