Difficult: I didn't understand the math on our to decrypt affine ciphers. I was especially confused about converting fractions into a specific number modn. I didn't understand how they came up with and used the chart of the letters on the top and side with their frequency in the middle. But it looks like it would be a convenient tool once understood.
Reflection:
It was neat to see how mods can help us decipher affine ciphers. It was really neat to see the charts used to solve substitution ciphers more easily. I will definitely use those next time I solve one of those!
