Can someone please help me with enc 3 =(

sorry i tried to stay away from making these kinds of threads but I really dont know where to start. (i guess since there are no articles about this its probably a really easy one.but i still dont get it)

:( could you just please explain a little bit about what is meant by addition and subtraction? as in adding and subtracting the letters individually for each character, (as in I will always equal M, for instance) or adding and subtracting in relation to the letters before and after it. i'd really appreciate it if someone told me where to start :( thanks!

yes that is the gist of it, add or subtract each letter

so is it just a shift by n? I wrote a "bruteforcer" in C where it shifts by a number, asks if it looks right, then shifts by the next number (and so on) and I can't get anything…

okay im done. that was actually really easy. i wish i spent some more time looking at it instead of just giving up so fast. x.x

Where do you even start? I'm trying to think for myself, but I need some more explination on what to do. Hell I don't even want a hint, just teach me please :wow:.

i havent done this one yet, but i would assume you would use the alphabet. A = 1, B = 2, C = 3; and so on, hopefully thats the right hint ;) if not someone please let him know lol
