Just what I was looking for, and written to engage pupils. Thank-you..
Excellent resource, terrible pun, everything a code breaker needs!
Thank you for this helpful resource. I find that students struggle with changing the base but this is a nice accessible introduction. I've added it to my resource library at resourceaholic.com.
thanks for sharing
Love the joke. Just one problem- on the answers, you have the first question as an R but there isn't an R. I think 3^10 should be R (not W).
