Joe Ninety had written (before it was coded): | |
This equipment will need to reproduce like a bunny to be effective around the world. | ||
The clues were in the name Nine and the sense of the sentence, but also a hint is in the receiving scientist's name Peter Rabbit. The word bunny was coded to produce sleep. | ||

Starting with the word bunny, the reverse-letters shift coding system means each letter was transferred for another one 9 letters anti-clockwise down the alphabet, given that the twenty six letters form a circle A to Z clockwise. | |
In this manner: | b became s | |
u became l | ||
n became e | ||
n became e again | ||
y became p. | ||
So bunny became sleep and the sentence acquired a different meaning when read as if uncoded. |
