The following code is used by both Alice and Bob to convert letters to numbers and vice versa:

A=01 B=02 C=03 D=04 E=05 F=06 G=07 H=08 I=09 J=10 K=11 L=12 M=13 N=14 O=15 P=16 Q=17 R=18 S=19 T=20 U=21 V=22 W=23 X=24 Y=25 Z=26

Alice sends out the following public key: (n,e) where n= 1127843 and e=47.

Using the public key, Bob sends to Alice the following sequence of numbers:

882905, 671595, 494561, 711441

What is the (letter) message that Bob transmitted?

The answer is one word with 10 letters. The word does not have a meaning in English.

This is my first quarter as a university freshman. I’ve been doing well so far, but midterms just rolled by and I accidentally turned in my project late for my design class. We had a project due before the midterm grades were sent out, and I completely forgot to turn in a picture of my final piece. Thing is, I actually finished it on time and presented it to the class last Tuesday. However, we also had to submit it digitally. I quickly turned it in digitally on the day of midterm grading (Monday). It’s now Wednesday and my professor hasn’t input a grade for my project. It stands at a 0/100 and I recently got a notification from my school stating that I have an F in the course (I also got a 75/100 on my midterm exam from lack of studying).

I’m freaking out that I may have just bombed my design class for this quarter. I don’t know how I can pull myself out of this. I’m terrified of talking to my professor about my screw up, even though I know I should. I know I’m in the wrong for forgetting, but she knows that I did technically complete it on time, so I’m not sure if I can fix this.

Is my grade set in stone? Am I screwed? I can’t afford to fail a course. My parents will string me up and skin me alive if they find out about this, and I really am striving to do well this year. We still have two major upcoming projects, but I don’t think it’s enough. Dropping this course is the last thing I’ll consider, and I really need help figuring out the right approach to this problem.

I just don t know what to do anymore. I just transferred this year to a new high school for my junior year. Reason why: I ve spent the last two years as a depressed mess due to literally having zero friends. I transferred hoping to create a decent social life. However, even though it is only the second day, nobody talks to me, even when I attempt to spark a conversation. I m just done. Maybe I should just kill myself since nobody seems to want to even be around me. I m not sure if I m just an unlikable person personality wise and that s why everyone seems to think I m so repulsive. Nobody makes the effort to talk to me and I m working my *** off trying to talk to them... And I m the shy one. I did expect everyone to have their cliques and such, but I was at least thinking that someone would try to befriend me, with me being the new kid and all. Obviously I was wrong. I m feeling worthless right now and am completely stuck. I just want to curl up in a ball and die honestly. Obviously the world is against me. This isn t even a question so much it is a rant, so I m sorry for wasting your time.

I've been doing poorly in school academically. I've been severely depressed for two years due to loneliness, as I have zero friends. I've lost my motivation to pay attention in class which subsequently caused my grades to drop. I'm raising my grades easily, as I did well in school two years ago in junior high under better social circumstances, and I explained everything to my parents: having no friends, my suicidal thoughts/tendencies, the cause for my terrible grades. I understand why my parents are upset, but it bothers me that they have no problem using this against me when we get into arguments in front of my siblings. They're constantly on edge with me since they're upset that I'm failing and am suicidal/depressed (they're religious and think I'm going to hell). They snap at me for everything (that is not an overstatement from a defiant teenage girl; they get incredibly pissed at me for tiny things that I never would have gotten in trouble for before). During arguments in front of my sisters that have no relation to my school life whatsoever, they use the fact that I have no friends and am not doing well at school against me. My dad yelled at me when he got mad at me for being inside the house too long. When my sister walked in with one of her friends, he said in front of everyone, "See, your little sister actually has friends to do things outside with" while embarrassingly emphasizing the "has". Do I deserve it for being an absolute failure? Should I say something?

What s the best name for my female earth dragon OC out of these? Also, I m open to other name suggestions if you dislike mine or have good ideas.

Names I ve considered:

- Sierra

- Arabella

- Ruby

- Forrest

- Shiloh

I barely ate dinner last night and the last liquid that I consumed was also yesterday which was just half a bottle of water. The only thing I had today was a few toaster sticks. I m cursing myself because I was in a rush this morning and totally forgot about taking food with me to school. My stomach is actually killing me right now, but I have to swim soon. I don t want to faint in the pool or anything lmao. What do I do?

Okay, so I know that this is a minuscule issue, but I wanted to bring it up, as this happens to a crap ton of other people besides myself. If you are familiar with the Twenty One Pilot's fandom, known as the Skeleton Clique, then you know about the die-hard, older fans who are extremely judgmental about newer fans (basically people who discovered the band after their latest album, Blurryface, was released). I, for instance, discovered the duo about a month after Blurryface's release back in 2015. Despite being newer, I can name every single song by them off the back of my hand and recite the lyrics to every single one of them. However, the fandom instantly thinks that I am "fake" whenever I bring up the the fact that I discovered them more recently. This has actually gotten to the point where Clique members at my own school ignore me and constantly quiz me about the musical duo, hoping that I screw up so they have something extra to ridicule me for. Even one of my close friends has started ignoring me because I received concert tickets for my birthday and she thought that I didn't deserve them for not being a fan for as long as she was. TØP is amazing, but honestly their fandom is made up of a lot of crappy people.

I know that I won't necessarily get a set answer out of this, but I wanted to bring it up anyways. How was the universe created? I know that religious people will argue "Well, God of course created it". But what created God? Things can technically become infinite but everything has to come from somewhere, right? So where did all of this come from?

Okay so I'm a 16 year old girl and I've been pondering my sexuality for around three years now. It all began back in 8th grade when I realized that I had never had a crush on anyone before while almost every other girl and guy in my school were already starting to date. I have considered the possibility of being a lesbian, but the only evidence for that would be the fairly infrequent, very small feelings that I sometimes get for (and I kid you not) fictional female characters on tv shows and the occasional slight feelings I have for real life girls. But I could also potentially be heterosexual, as on rare occasions when I come across a seemingly nice guy (I really only care about personality; physical looks don't define desirability for me) I begin to get nervous and fidgety and try to put on a "cool" demeanor. Maybe I'm bisexual? But these small moments of appeal don't occur often anyways, and I wouldn't label them as anything huge like crushes or anything. At the moment I'm mostly leaning towards the probability of being either bisexual or asexual. This has really been confusing me for the past few years though and I'd really like to be able to come to a set conclusion. I feel like my case is pretty bemusing so I'm sure that some of you won't be able to tell, but any help to steer me in the proper direction, whatever that may be, would be very appreciated. I've just been so stressed lately over this and I'm truly open to hear any opinions that you have based on this :)

I'm doing a survey and want to get as much feedback as I can! For example, my favorite song by them is Ruby and my favorite album is Regional at Best.

Hey, I'm a sophomore girl in high school. I've never been the smartest student at school, but I was far from the worst. My report card typically consisted of A's and B's. However, recently I've been getting terrible grades. I have a D in World History AP and a C in Biology and Spanish. I have been slacking off because I've been extremely depressed. I mean I've had depression for almost three years now but it's gotten so bad recently. I don't have any friends at school due to my social anxiety which is the reason I have severe depression. I try so hard to do well in school and concentrate but it's like my body's just given up. I have no motivation to do well anymore. I want help so so badly but my parents wouldn't understand (they haven't in the past). I don't want to tell them about my grades because I'll have to explain to them my depression and my sh***y social life and they won't care about my problems. I don't have friends I can turn to, I don't have family, I'm not telling my school counselor cause she'll tell my parents, I've gone to therapy before and it doesn't help (so that's out of the question). I've been feeling suicial lately, but there is no way in hell I'm telling anyone. I'm not being selfish and wanting to kill myself because I want to 'prove something' to anyone, I just can't live like this anymore. I don't know what to do; my life is a screwed up mess and I should never have been born because my life is so incredibly pathetic. Please somebody just help me..

When I was in elementary / middle school, I had a huge group of friends. We all had common interests and were very close. Unfortunately, almost all of my friends went to different high schools. A few months back when I began my freshman year of high school, I felt really confident that I would make friends and it would be the same as before. I was wrong. My social anxiety got to me and prevented me from talking to people. Even when I started to have conversations with others I couldn t keep them going for very long. I sit with a couple of my old friends and a group of new "friends" that I barely talk to. I feel awkward whenever I m around them. I even feel awkward around my old friends. I am so angry at myself for being so shy and stressed out all the time. How can I change? What do I do?
