Final answer:

Without a clear decryption method or key, it is not possible to accurately decrypt the message "uhg" with the provided table. Decryption typically involves a fixed system or ruleset, which is not given in this assignment.

Step-by-step explanation:

To decrypt the message "uhg" using the given table, we must understand the table's structure and the decryption method. However, without the explicit rules for decryption provided in the assignment, it is challenging to provide an exact answer. The table appears to be a substitution cipher—a method of encryption by which units of plaintext (in this case, letters or pairs of letters) are replaced with ciphertext according to a fixed system.

Because the information given does not include a clear system or key for deciphering, one can only speculate on the possible decryption. If "uhg" were to be decrypted by reversing the letters, for example, it would become "ghu". If instead each letter corresponds to the one preceding or following it in the alphabet in the table, "uhg" could translate to "tgi" or "vih". Unfortunately, without further context, an accurate decryption cannot be provided.

Note that decryption exercises generally require at least 150 words above the basic encrypted message to perform statistical analysis and break the code effectively, which seems to be a hint from the instructions. Understanding how to crack this puzzle, as indicated by Figure 7.8, would indeed ensure you won't forget the method. Yet, without the specific instructions that go with the provided table, decryption cannot proceed.

Answer:

red

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the basic form of encrypt, which shift the letters by a number.

u=r

h=e

g=d

Therefore, the answer is "red"
