- Hill Cypher At the beginning of the 1900 the Hill Cypher was developed to communicate secret messages. The letters of the alphabet are represented by 0 through 25. So for example the number 2 corresponds to the letter C. The Hill Cypher works in this way: Bob wants to communicate a secrete message to Alice. Bob will chose a secret word such as TANGERINE. The word will be translate into a sequence of numbers 19 0 13 17 To encode the message 19 0 13 6 4 17 9 13 4, which we can display as a 3 x 3 matrix 9. 6. 4 13 4 RHI, Bob first translates it into a vector (17 7 8), then computes the vector 19 13 17 11 6. 4 17 9. 13 4 8 25 which translate to the encoded message LGZ, which is the message that Alice receives. Because we have chosen a 3 x 3 matrix, if we have to communicate a longer message such as RHINOCEROS, we will need to divide the word in bits of 3 letters, adding at the end some extra (mute) letters. In this project you will explore some details that need to be worked out. 1.…arrow_forward6) Mr. Munson, the art teacher, is organizing his supplies for his students' upcoming art project. He has 65 markers and 52 crayons. He wants to put the markers and crayons into containers for each table group so that there are the same number of markers and the same number of crayons in each container. Part A: Write an expression using the distributive property to show how the marks and crayons are distributed such that Mr. Munson can make the largest number of containers. Part B: What is the largest number of tables he can make and how many of each supply will be at each table?arrow_forwardSelect the correct text in the passage. Read the adapted excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Which two lines reflect the theme that men must never go against fate? He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously. "And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table. "It had something put on it by an old Fakir," said the Sargeant-Major, "a very respected man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it." "And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. White. "I did," said the seargent-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth. "And has anybody else wished?" persisted the old lady. "The first man had his three wishes. Yes,"…arrow_forward
