====== First Encryption Key ======
==== Problem ====
Suppose you encounter some ciphertext $(i,q,x,x,p,a,z,q)$ that you know has been encrypted using a simple shift permutation $\phi_n$ for some $n$. 
  - Decode the ciphertext and state the original message. State the value of $n$ that was used to encode the original message. 
  - Encode the plain text message "attack at dawn" into ciphertext using the same encryption key you discovered in the first part.
  - Are there any other $n$ that would have produced the same results as above?
