my friend put up a code on his away message and it was easy to figure out just guessing what it would be. then i put one up and i gave every letter in the alphabet a number... a=1, b=2, etc and then used 4x^2 + 2x + 7 to make them into different larger numbers. one of my smarter friends...

Optimization: I am going insane here :cry: :cry: I've really run out of ideas... please help me.! %golden.m function [f,a]=golden(func,p,tol) func='dfunc'; p=[0 1] g=0.38; a=p(1); b=p(2); r=b-a tol=0.01; iter=0 while r>tol x=[a+g*r b-g*r] y=feval(func,x) if...

Hello, I have been given a question which consists of a riddle in a mono-alphabetic code - it is a question that is part of our crytography section. Now I have decoded the riddle. But I am not sure if I have solved the riddle. Here is the riddle I decoded: Now I didn't have to try...

So, I'm writing assembly language code to drive a fan by varying the pulsewidth. Halfway through (6 hours or so ago) I try to compile it. The compiler software is a piece of crap (code uses a structured assembly language, so it doesn't recognise anything), and I need to bring everything...

What is the algorithm? No big mystery but a nice little demo for you to ponder. http://www.suite101.com/files/mysites/AskAlice/Clock.htm
