    PUZZLE: Morse and Commatic Code

    EXPLANATION of the PUZZLE:
    What to do and how

    This is a puzzle which uses codes to hide some key words related to
    Skeleton Creek, a novel made by Patrick Carman that narrates the
    paranoiac misadventures of a teenager called Ryan. These words are
    hidden using a combination of two codes, the morse code, and the
    commatic code (which was made by us).
    If we have to decode the words, we will have to understand the codes, so
    we are going to do a partial explanation of them, especially the commatic
    code.

    THE COMMATIC CODE

    The ‘Commatic Code’ is a language which uses symbols and numbers


    directly extracted from a scientific calculator.

    As you can see here, this is not the entire alphabet, we only show the most
    anti-intuitive letters, but you’ll have to complete it using logic.

    G= 6
    H= )-(
    J= √
    K= √,
    L= ab/c
    N= M,
    R= π
    S= 5
    T= 7
    U= ( )
    V= ( ),
    Z= 2
    IMPORTANT THINGS
    ABOUT THE
    COMMATIC CODE

    The Commatic Code is named after the word comma (,). Why? One of
    the most important things about this code, is that commas can modify
    some letters, such as the ‘N’, which is obtained by adding a comma next to
    an ‘M’. This is because the N is very similar to the M. Another example is
    the ‘V’. This is obtained by adding a comma next to a ‘U’. If we apply the
    logic with the remaining letters, we can complete the alphabet.
    We can also write other things, like question and exclamation marks,
    numbers and spaces, but these won’t be necessary in the puzzle, so we’ll
    skip them.
    There are letters that we didn’t put here which don’t need commas for
    their composition, but they are very obvious if we see the things we can
    write in our calculator.
    In the puzzle, the words alpha and shift will appear. These words refer
    to the alpha and shift keys that we have in our calculator, and these help us
    to write different letters.

    THE MORSE CODE

    The Morse Code is a very famous way to encrypt messages, which was
    commonly used in war, aviation and navigation. We are not explaining it
    in detail, because there is no apparent pattern on it. This code consists in
    the use of dots and bars to write different letters. There is also a way to
    communicate with this same code using sound which is played in an
    intermittent way, but we are not using this. For the alphabet, we’re going
    to open the Skeleton Creek book on ‘Friday, September 17, 10:15 p.m’.
    This page shows us all the letters.
    THE PUZZLE

    The decoded words will combine both codes, and each letter of the
    word will be separated with a slash (/). And, there are also letters that need
    more letters to be written, so we are separating these with an inverted
    slash (\). Remember that the goal here is getting the word, not all the
    letters.
