Default Caesar cipher help

I missed class for four weeks(sick) and apparently theirs a CA worth 30% due in at 4pm tomorrow and i cant catch up that fast.

Dose anyone know how to solve a Caesar cipher.

Edit: A=1 B=2 ...,z=0


y = (ax +b) mod 26

I used http://www.diamondcs.com.au/developers/bytebreak.php but no luck Confused even though its supposed to crack any Caesar cipher.

If you could just get the first word it would help me out.

Thanks for any help.

Last EDIT:

Sorry i got it.

Its "Estimates show"...(Still working on the rest).

What sort of shifting got you "I" for E and "E" for S? You couldn't have performed the same shift on each letter.
