Ever since I was young my father used to show me examples of encrypted messages and I used be to baffled by all those messages. I tend to solve some of the problems on this site and this problem is one of the most interesting problems I've ever stumbled upon. Right after seeing this problem, I grabbed a paper and a pen and started to decrypt this message. First, I started using basic mathematics by replacing the letters with numbers and started mixing them, which did not get me anywhere except delusion. After a failing attempt to replace the letters with number, I tried to find a certain alphabetical pattern that replaces all the letters and also failed. After working for 3 hours on this encrypted message, I suddenly saw that it was only an alphabetical shift. It was the Caesars shift, which shifted the order of the alphabets by 3 letters and once I figured that out, I encrypted the whole message.
