Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which is the answer to this code? Cjmm xfou up uif tupsf.

Answer: Bill went to the store.

This is an adapted version of the Caesar cipher. In an original Caesar cipher, each letter represented the letter three places before or after that letter in the alphabet. In this version, it was the letter before each letter in the code. For example, "dbu" would be "cat".
2. Which is the answer to this code? Odnokd dzs bzjd.

Answer: People eat cake.

This was an adapted version of the Caesar cipher. Instead of each letter in the cipher representing either the letter three places before or after it like the original code, it was the letter after each in the cipher. For example, "cnf" would be "dog".
3. Which is the answer to this code? Sdshu frphv iurp wuhhv.

Answer: Paper comes from trees.

This is a version of the Caesar cipher which represents each letter of the cipher with the letter three places before or after it. In this cipher, it was the three places after. For example, "edw" would be "bat".
4. Which is the answer to this code? Okeg ctg vkpa.

Answer: Mice are tiny.

This was an adapted version of the Caesar cipher. In this cipher, each letter in the cipher represents the letter two places before it, whereas in the original cipher, it would be three places either before or after it. For example, for this cipher, "ect" would be "car".
5. Which is the answer to this code? Oxzb zxop xob cxpq

Answer: Race cars are fast.

This was a version of the Caesar cipher. In this cipher, the letters in the cipher represented the letter either three places before or after it in the alphabet. In this case, it was after. For example, "mlq" would be "pot".
6. Which is the answer to this code? Ujg rncau vjg dcplq.

Answer: She plays the banjo.

This was an adapted version of the Caesar cipher. In the original Caesar cipher, each letter in the cipher represented the letter either three places before or after it in the alphabet. In this version, each letter of the cipher represents the letter two places before it. For example, "qcp" would be "pan".
7. Which is the answer to this code? Pa adrong sins da stoyaple rolf speert.

Answer: A dog is a type of pet.

This cipher is commonly referred to as a "crossout" cipher. In this cipher, you cross out every other letter, which reveals a message. For example, if the code said "Isthrone", the word would be "shoe".
8. Which is the answer to this code? Get over Nick's old wife!

Answer: Go now!

In this code, you take the first letter of each word and form a message from it. You'll get many letters all jumbled up, but you have to know where to split them into words. For example, if the code said "He eats little lollipops on the enormous deck.", you would have "helloted". You'd have to know where to split it, which would give you "Hello Ted".
9. Which is the answer to this code? c r a e x e s v a s r e p n i e

Answer: Cars are expensive.

This code is commonly referred to as the "zig zag" cipher. In this code, you start with the letter in the upper-left corner of your "letter box". Then you go to the letter below it to get your second letter. Go to the letter diagonally and to the right. Then go to the letter below it and repeat. For example, if the top line was "f o" and the bottom line was "r g", it would be "frog".
10. Which is the answer to this code? u f j e m x i x o c p t

Answer: The wind blows.

This is a mix of an adapted version of the Caesar cipher and the "zig zag" cipher. To decipher this code, you must change all the letters to the letter that precedes it. Then you follow the rules of the "zig zag" cipher, which you do by starting at the letter in the upper left corner of your "letter box", going to the letter below it, then to the letter diagonally and to the right, and repeat to where you are reading the message in a "zig zag" fashion. For example, if the top line was "d s f", and the bottom line was "b q u", it would be "carpet".
