Mrs. DeLaporte has been getting quite a few spam calls lately, all from the area codes listed below, and always in the same order. She is fairly certain their is a meaning to the area codes and the places the calls are coming from, can you help her figure out the number to call to get them to leave her alone? 

​

Take the area codes below and find what state they are associated with, take the letters from the numerical positions within that state’s name to spell out a message. 

​

For example:

The area code 301 comes from Maryland, so we would take the third letter (3), skip the (0), and take the first letter (1) from the state's name, giving us R and M. 

 

Then:

Then transpose the message into a 10 number answer using the a1z26 cipher and enter it at the end of DeLaporteBrainbuster.com/ to continue.
