Note that 3 = R appears twice. Also, the title refers to the method of encryption.
Whenever a letter appears that looks like a number (for example, 6 instead of G or 0 instead of O) it is replaced by that number. Equal signs go before each leading letter which doesn't have a letter pair.
So, 0 = O, 1 = I, 3 = E, 4 = A, 5 = S, 6 = G, 8 = B. This means the message says:
GAM
ER
ISA___DP
ER
SON
The answer must be a number, so it's obviously 600 or GOO (since I am such a good person) and obviously not 84 or BA. |
