4. On your way out the door from COR 314 class one day, you stumble across a crumpled-up note that one of your classmates must have been passing to another their friend. Upon opening it, you notice that it's written in what seems like gibberish: M'ZA GET O VEZAVI RWBUJ ED UEUEBWTQ You're about to throw away the code, but then you remember that you just recently learned about affine ciphers. You wonder - could this perhaps be encoded in such a cipher?(1) (a) What can you figure out about the message based just on what you know about English? (b) Figure out how each of the letters AZ are encoded using this cipher. (c) Decrypt the message. (d) Give the values of a and b that must have been used to create this affine cipher, as well as the values of a and b that would decode it. 4.
