Finally, you come across an information kiosk with a list of rooms. Of course, the list is
|
||||
encrypted and full of decoy data, but the instructions to decode the list are barely hidden
|
||||
nearby. Better remove the decoy data first.

Each room consists of an encrypted name (lowercase letters separated by dashes) followed by a
|

dash, a sector ID, and a checksum in square brackets.

Each room consists of an encrypted name (lowercase letters separated by

dashes) followed by a dash, a sector ID, and a checksum in square brackets.
|

|

A room is real (not a decoy) if the checksum is the five most common letters in the encrypted
|
||||
name, in order, with ties broken by alphabetization. For example:

A room is real (not a decoy) if the checksum is the five most common letters
|
||||
in the encrypted name, in order, with ties broken by alphabetization. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
• aaaaa-bbb-z-y-x-123[abxyz] is a real room because the most common
|
||||
letters are a (5), b (3), and then a tie between x, y, and z, which are
|
||||
listed alphabetically.
|
||||
|
||||
• a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-987[abcde] is a real room because although the letters
|
||||
are all tied (1 of each), the first five are listed alphabetically.
|
||||
|
||||
• aaaaa-bbb-z-y-x-123[abxyz] is a real room because the most common letters are a (5), b
|
||||
(3), and then a tie between x, y, and z, which are listed alphabetically.
|
||||
• a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-987[abcde] is a real room because although the letters are all tied (1 of
|
||||
each), the first five are listed alphabetically.
|
||||
• not-a-real-room-404[oarel] is a real room.
|
||||
|
||||
• totally-real-room-200[decoy] is not.
|
||||
|
||||
Of the real rooms from the list above, the sum of their sector IDs is 1514.
|
||||
|

What is the sum of the sector IDs of the real rooms?

The room names are encrypted by a state-of-the-art shift cipher, which is nearly unbreakable
|

without the right software. However, the information kiosk designers at Easter Bunny HQ were
|

not expecting to deal with a master cryptographer like yourself.

To decrypt a room name, rotate each letter forward through the alphabet a number of times
|
||||
equal to the room's sector ID. A becomes B, B becomes C, Z becomes A, and so on. Dashes become
|
||||
spaces.
