There are many ways to encode messages. Here is an encoding using just zeros and ones.
0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0
This single sequence could represent many different messages. To decode the information correctly, you need a key. The actual message that the encoding represents depends on the key you use to decode it.
Here are two keys which could be used to decode the message:
| Letter | Code |
|---|---|
| C | 1 0 0 |
| D | 1 0 1 0 |
| E | 0 1 |
| O | 1 1 1 |
| R | 1 0 1 1 |
| S | 0 0 |
| T | 1 1 0 |
| Letter | Code |
|---|---|
| C | 0 0 0 1 |
| D | 0 1 1 0 |
| E | 1 1 1 0 |
| O | 1 0 0 1 |
| R | 1 0 1 0 |
| S | 0 1 0 1 |
| T | 1 0 1 1 |
What is the message if you decode it using the Alpha Key?
What is the message if you decode it using the Beta Key?
