  2. Trifid cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifid_cipher

    The trifid cipher is a classical cipher invented by Félix Delastelle and described in 1902. [1] Extending the principles of Delastelle's earlier bifid cipher, it combines the techniques of fractionation and transposition to achieve a certain amount of confusion and diffusion: each letter of the ciphertext depends on three letters of the plaintext and up to three letters of the key.

  3. Tap code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_code

    The tap code is based on a Polybius square using a 5×5 grid of letters representing all the letters of the Latin alphabet, except for K, which is represented by C. . Each letter is communicated by tapping two numbers, the first designating the row and the second (after a pause) designating the column.

  4. Division by two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_two

    An orange that has been sliced into two halves. In mathematics, division by two or halving has also been called mediation or dimidiation. [1] The treatment of this as a different operation from multiplication and division by other numbers goes back to the ancient Egyptians, whose multiplication algorithm used division by two as one of its fundamental steps. [2]

  5. Verbal arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_arithmetic

    The sum of two biggest two-digit-numbers is 99+99=198. So O=1 and there is a carry in column 3. Since column 1 is on the right of all other columns, it is impossible for it to have a carry. Therefore 1+1=T, and T=2. As column 1 had been calculated in the last step, it is known that there isn't a carry in column 2. But, it is also known that ...

  6. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

  7. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Subtracting 2 times the last digit from the rest gives a multiple of 3. (Works because 21 is divisible by 3) 405: 40 - 5 x 2 = 40 - 10 = 30 = 3 x 10 4: The last two digits form a number that is divisible by 4. [2] [3] 40,832: 32 is divisible by 4. If the tens digit is even, the ones digit must be 0, 4, or 8.

  8. Bacon's cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon's_cipher

    Then each letter of the false message must be presented in the appropriate typeface, according to whether it stands for an A or a B. [4] To decode the message, the reverse method is applied. Each "typeface 1" letter in the false message is replaced with an A and each "typeface 2" letter is replaced with a B. The Baconian alphabet is then used ...

  9. Four-square cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-square_cipher

    The four-square cipher uses four 5 by 5 (5x5) matrices arranged in a square. Each of the 5 by 5 matrices contains the letters of the alphabet (usually omitting "Q" or putting both "I" and "J" in the same location to reduce the alphabet to fit).
