Exercise 2: Crytanalysis (20%)

Now think about the problem of cryptanalysis: that is, suppose you are "the enemy" and have intercepted a transmission known to have been encyphered with a Caesar cipher. How would you set about trying to decipher it? You may wish to challenge a colleague in the class to see who can decipher the other's ciphertext message most quickly. Record your conclusions in your report.
