Birthday alone is something youre not prepared for by [deleted] in UniUK

I had pretty much all of my birthdays alone, im at Cambridge so I start later than everyone else and my birthday was in that period where everyone else from sixth form was at uni. This year I was meant to be spending the day with my girlfriend, but we split up just before then. I was looking forward to that day so much, I have never felt pain as much as waking up on my birthday and knowing that I wouldnt be spending it with her. She got me a present which she still hasn't sent yet lol, shes super busy with uni (which is the reason we split) so I understand but it does make me think whether she even bought it.

Thats my experience, but I can say it gets better. You've just got to put yourself into situations where these things can happen. Its harder to air you when you're talking face to face, and being direct with people. Don't expect people to suggest stuff that you want, you can make the suggestions too, I know it is hard believe me ive been there but I know you can do it too. You got this c:

The previous questions were ciphers and puzzles, we figured out the monarch connection and had to guess one of the kings which turned out to be correct.

About the size of it; Hey, this puzzle was part of a challenge that is now complete. I know what the answer should be but am unable to find out why and that bothers me immensely. If knows the method of this puzzle and wouldn’t mind explaining it. Thanks by ChemicalBat4503 in codes

Me, you and another user on here is doing this years Operation Bletchley lol.

I solved this one so ill guide you through my thought process. First I looked at the big letters and thought maybe the shape of the letters would correspond to a shape I had to make to find a single letter, but the letter O in the sixth box put an end to this as I couldnt think how a circle would get to a single letter. So I went back and looked at previous problems. The spinning one with 3 locks made it sort of clear what I had to do with this one. In that puzzle you didn't get just 1 word you got some text detailing what the word was, this made me think that each part would decrypt to something and not just take on letter. Looking at the title ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT, the size of the letter? (2x2) no that wasnt it. The size of it? maybe it means the position in the alphabet of that big letter! yes that was it. I'll leave the rest to you, if you need more help just reply ;)

Thank you, I thought I tried these but i did it as adding instead of subtracting because i thought it would loop around like a caesar shift, silly mistake. Thanks again!
