Caesar Cipher Hints

A Caesar cipher is a simple type of cipher where each letter in the alphabet is shifted over a uniform amount of letters. To create a Caesar cipher, first assign a number to each letter in the alphabet in order.

A = 1, B = 2, C =3, and so forth. This is our plaintext alphabet

Next, choose an amount to add to each number. For this example, we'll add 3 to each number. Since there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, once the sum of the original number plus the number we're adding to it is greater than 26, we'll start our count over again at 1. So in this example of adding 3 to each of our numbers, we get

A = 4, B =5, C = 6, ... , V = 25, W = 26, X = 1, Y = 2, Z = 3. This is our ciphertext alphabet

Level 5c: Try The Next One

You decided to try and find another bathroom that does have toilet paper, but the other bathrooms are so far away. You start your trek but are suddenly forced to stop and find a new route. Solve the following Baconian Cipher to find out what you saw that made you stop.
