Activity 1 (Unlock a coded message) Doctor Strange is in deep trouble. He is being pursed by Thanos and is presently hiding in a secret location to escape from being captured by him. He needs to send messages to two of his comrades, Thor and Captain America, to tell them about his situation and whereabouts. As such, he composes his first message by replacing each letter in the message by a number according to the code in Table 1 below. Coded message Blank 0 0 15 As Doctor Strange is afraid that his message will be intercepted and cracked by Thanos, therefore, he decides to send the message in code together with a super hi-tech LOCK to Thor and Captain America to unlock the coded message.
