Section 3.8, 2.5-2.8 Due September 16

It was fun to read the Sherlock Homes story.  It's been said several times that a problem with substitution ciphers  English alphabet aren't very secure and it causes problem with authenticity.  In this story because Sherlock figured out the code and sent a message to the killer.  The killer came back to the scene of the crime when the police were there!  Be careful when sending secret messages!

Difficult:
I'm still struggling to understand what to do with a fraction in front of mod n.  I also don't remember how to calculate the determinate of a 3x3 matrix.
