Thus, we have: TRIANGLE  code as follows:

16. Sol.(b): Tip nop baj  singing

Code of good is in equation (2)
there are two other words
dancing and is from (1) and
(2) together we see that “mot”
and “is” common in both cases
means not is code of is. Simi-
larly from (2) and (3) we see
that “baj” and “dancing” are
So, KDQCEFU common means code of baj
should be dancing.
17. Sol.(d):
So we found after this process
code for good be min.
