Each number is used once with a combination of adding, subtraciting,
dividing, and multiplying.
The end result should be WORD1: WORD2 (each set resembling a letter)
Thanks for your help this far.
This is the actual problem:
The following code can be decrypted with a mathematical cipher. A rule that
applys to each set of numbers that will equal a number that is an ascii
code. I do not know how to do this and I am desperately seeking an answer.
You can find a chart of ascii values at the following website
