Code Breaker Level 1 Medium maths puzzle involving anagram, codeword, letter map and rational numbers

Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium

Home » Puzzles » Code Breaker » Level 1 - Medium » Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium
Topics: anagram, codeword, letter map, rational numbers, rounding

Each correct answer gives a number. Use the scrambled letter map to translate those numbers into letters. The five letters you uncover form an anagram – solve it to unlock the codeword. Round normally to get to a rational number, if needed.

2 = N | 10 = R | 15 = A | 11 = J | 1 = G | 14 = D | 9 = I | 8 = B | 17 = P | 18 = F

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x-2)(x-2) – x² – 8x + 4 = -112

Code Breaker – Medium

Watch for different equation types: some Code Breakers mix “solve for x” with other tasks (like identifying a constant term after expanding).

  • If it says solve, isolate the variable and compute the value.
  • If it says expand or constant term, do the expansion and take the requested part.
  • If it says positive solution or larger solution, pick the correct root after factorising/solving.

Then translate each numeric result using the map and anagram the letters into the final word.
