Recently, a high school student in Japan wrote an essay in the extinct script "Runes" as manifestation of his creativity. His teacher accepted the challenge with pleasure. It took the teacher at least three hours to crack the text meaning, and nearly 700,000 netizens like the student and the teacher.
Trying to interpret the extinct text is like cracking a password. Kedamadama, a 16-year-old Japanese college boy, shared his composition and his teacher's comments on Twitter. The pencil is the composition written by the students in the Runes alphabet, and the red ink is the teacher's deciphering.
The Rune alphabet, also known as the Luni or the Nordic alphabet, is a type of extinct alphabet used in medieval Europe to write certain Nordic Germanic languages, especially in Scandinavia and the British Isles.
Kedamadama first wrote the Roman pinyin of Japanese, and then converted it into the Rune alphabet. The teacher met the creative student. Of course, he was willing to accept the challenge, so he first wrote the meaning of each Rune alphabet in the upper right of the assignment, and then converted the composition written by the student into the English alphabet verbatim, and then turned into Japanese characters. One of the tests is to consider the position of the hyphenation, because all the letters are connected together. The teacher really lived up to the expectations of the students and successfully interpreted the full text.

The teacher wrote a comment and said that it took him three and a half hours to interpret. Although it is very good, it can be written in ordinary words. He stamped the "You work hard" chapter at the bottom left of the assignment, and wrote humorously: "This is a chapter that praises me. You pay me overtime!"
Since the start of this thread, 150,000 people have followed the discussion and nearly 700,000 people liked it. Netizens praised the creativity of the student and the patience of the teacher. Some people think that the teacher's response will have a positive effect on students.
