    By the way vev. I see you're online I finally found the encryption scheme they were using.

    k, the encryption:
    x = random number from 1 to 31
    output binary 5 bit binary encoding of x
    output x random bits

    for each character a in the input string:
    __b = binary encoding of a
    __y = random number from 0 to 1
    __output y
    __if (y == 0)
    ____output flip1(b)
    __if (y == 1)
    ____output flip2(b)

    output x random bits

    output = flipS(output)

    done

    flip1, given an 8 character string, outputs it in the order: 2,1,4,3,6,5,8,7
    flip2, given an 8 character string, outputs it in the order: 3,4,1,2,7,8,5,6
    flipS, given an input string, outputs it in reverse order.

    Decryption is obvious, just very tedious, which is why we're letting the computer do it
    However, it looks non-recoverable since y is random.

      Actually they output y *slaps self*

      So I WAS right!!!! It was a 9-bit encrpytion!

        We must devise a encryption system for the next ACDG. And yes, we did surrender if anyone still wonders.
