Crack The Code PBL

• Cryptology is a part of Math that hides the meaning of messages through codes. It’s like the study of secrets. Messages are encrypted or turned into a form that cannot be understood by a person without some secret knowledge or a key that helps to unravel the code. You are a spy that has been hired by your Math teacher to help open a treasure chest that has not been opened in years. Your job is to encrypt a number into a code that can be solved with a key. Work carefully because your fellow spies and math teacher will try to crack you code. When codes are successfully cracked, we will gain access to the treasure chest. Are you ready for your mission?
