Good job! You did it!
Decode this mono-alphabetic cipher:

Hint: O=S

the scioly assassination games are a series of games in which one user is chosen as the 'sassy', who then tries to kill people by posting clues.
Question: Determine the decryption matrix if the plaintext "test" encodes into the ciphertext "bzet"

I think the decryption matrix is PBYF

Wait, shouldn’t the decryption matrix be four numbers?

|21 2|
|3 25|
I got this by creating two marices using "test" and "bzet," inverting one of the matrices, and multiplying the two matrices together

Yeah I did the same thing but I got
|15  1|
|24  5| or PBYF as my decryption matrix. I got 
|21  2|
|3  25| by multiplying BZET by the inverse of TEST as well, but that would give you the encryption matrix, right? So I inverted that to get my final answer. I may have interpreted the question incorrectly, sorry about that.

which is what I meant by PBYF, sorry for being unclear.
Encoding bzet with your matrix results in OTBJ
Encoding bzet with 21 2 3 25 results in TEST

Sorry yeah I just edited my answer. I found the same encryption matrix as you, but I thought you asked for the decryption matrix so I inverted it and gave that as my answer.

It would be the decryption maxtrix as it encrypts the cipher text into the plaintext, not vice versa.
Anyways your turn
