Code #2
Observations
Interesting mix of w-, w+ and z0. Try to find what the split his and you’ll be able to see the pattern
[hint]The keyword is not included but the meaning of each character will lead you to it.[/hint]
Notice that the z is never repeated, let’s use it to split the string
w⁻w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁺w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁻w⁺w⁻w⁻w⁺
We now have 10 strings which could be the prefix and suffix. Notice how where the numbers should fall there is always 5 w. Morse uses 5 bits for numbers. W- are dashes and W+ are dots
-.--..--....---.....----...---...----.--.

Searching for w- w+ on Google lead to the wikipedia page for the W and Z bosons which are also know as the weak bosons

Code #3
Observations
A mix of alternating letters and symbols.
Use a skip of 2 to separate the letters and symbols
wvhtofofififpoq@*>@@^@>%#>$($(
Using only the letters, reverse them
qopfififofothvw
We now have the prefix and suffix
qop55 443vw
“Un-shift” the symbols
@*>@@^@>%#>$($(
28.2262.53.4949
These are google map coordinates
28.2262 53.4949
Enter these in the google map search and it will lead you to the Harm Seasonal Lake
