💡 Analysis & Explanation
Decoding the Pattern
Let's analyze the shift in the alphabet positions from 'MOTHER' to 'JRQKBU'.
Positional Shift
M(13) -> J(10) is a shift of -3. O(15) -> R(18) is a shift of +3. T(20) -> Q(17) is a shift of -3. H(8) -> K(11) is +3. E(5) -> B(2) is -3. R(18) -> U(21) is +3. The underlying logic is an alternating pattern of subtract 3, add 3.
Applying the Logic
Now, apply '-3, +3' alternately to 'PRINCIPAL':
P(16) - 3 = M(13)
R(18) + 3 = U(21)
I(9) - 3 = F(6)
N(14) + 3 = Q(17)
C(3) - 3 = Z(26) [going backwards around the alphabet]
I(9) + 3 = L(12)
P(16) - 3 = M(13)
A(1) + 3 = D(4)
L(12) - 3 = I(9)
Conclusion
Combining these letters yields the final code 'MUFQZLMDI'.
