Understanding the Code Language
To decode how "durables" is written as "BSVETFMS," we first need to analyze the transformation of each letter.
Letter Transformation
- The first letter 'd' is transformed to 'B'. This signifies a backward shift in the alphabet.
- Each subsequent letter undergoes a similar transformation, where a specific pattern is followed for encoding.
Identifying the Shift Pattern
- Let's break down the shifts:
- d (4) → B (2): Shift -2
- u (21) → S (19): Shift -2
- r (18) → V (22): Shift +4
- a (1) → E (5): Shift +4
- b (2) → T (20): Shift +18
- l (12) → F (6): Shift -6
- e (5) → M (13): Shift +8
- The observed shifts are consistent with a pattern of alternating between backward and forward shifts.
Applying the Same Pattern to "feasible"
Now, let's apply this transformation to the word "feasible":
- f (6) → D (4): Shift -2
- e (5) → C (3): Shift -2
- a (1) → e (5): Shift +4
- s (19) → W (23): Shift +4
- i (9) → a (1): Shift -8
- b (2) → T (20): Shift +18
- l (12) → F (6): Shift -6
- e (5) → M (13): Shift +8
Final Encoded Word
Thus, following the identified shifts, "feasible" becomes "DCEWATFM."
This method of encoding can be applied to any word following the same letter shift patterns highlighted above.
