"chApped codes on top and on Bottom"
source code time.
so, uh, it asks us to remove delta (letter d in nato) from the "chapped" part... yeah
yeah i... probably could've used a better hinting for chappe code... 😅
below that is an hinting in which is which and a hint for semaphore, "raised flags", with # being the glyph.
upon doing the maths and putting each symbol in the exact order, we get a string like this:
converting that to chappe code gives us:
all that's left is to grab the corresponding numbers of each symbol, which gives us "19 20 18 5 5 20 16 1 19 19".
converting that with a1z26 gives us our next answer: streetpass.
