Yes, you'd still need to know how to do the modular arithmetic and what symbols equal what numbers. But, all that appears to be known. (Someone here -- I can't recall who -- posted a link to the 7-symbol codes on this petpage here: http://www.neopets.com/~RudolfRocker

Great! Now who can explain what I'm supposed to do with it?![]()
Seriously, I asked on the Neoboards and a bunch of math geeks spouted off some stuff so fast I lost it completely. I'll do the work myself- just tell me how!

In the Maintenance Tunnels, where you clicked before. The page with the doors should have a link to "hq.phtml," which is the location of the decoding email step we're working on.

Mind you, for all I know TNT deems writing your own code to be a cheat, too, although if so I think that's absurd. I can see how they might see using a code someone else wrote that way -- since then you're not doing the work yourself -- but writing your own code is just using a tool to solve the problem yourself. Like I said, they may as well outlaw calculators (the normal kind) and pencil and paper next.
Please note that using any kind of external helper program or cheat program to solve this puzzle is against the rules and will likely get you FROZEN! So do the right thing and solve the puzzle yourself!

I just found out that we have something to do plot wise, and went through the steps to start translating mail...but I seem to already have 3-mod decoding going on. O.o Correct me if I am wrong, shouldn't I only have one modifier box at this point?

Does that help at all?

I don't understand any of the math used in this, and I've been trying random combos for the past hour and a half to no avail. Plus the guides people have posted everywhere are no help to me because I don't understand what they all mean. ><

Here's what I did. (For the easiest 3-mod puzzles, using the charmander page.) First, find the last symbol of both your key, and the target. (Let's say the key is B, and the target is C.) Then, go to the charmander page, and scroll down until you find the section that has your key letter. Scroll down through that section until you find a series of letters that starts with your key letter, and ends with your target letter. (B and C, in this example.) Then you insert three codes, each ending with a letter used on the charmander page. (In this case, a code ending with C, a second code ending with C, and a code ending with P.) Try all possible combinations of the codes that end in those 3 letters. If that doesn't work, go back to the charmander page and search for the next set. (And keep track of the combos you try. Many of the combos are repeated on the help page, just in different orders. Since the order the codes are entered doesn't make a difference, you can skip any repeated codes to save some time.) Hope that helps.
