"That" being the entire encryption algorithm. So it would appear that
you had no idea how the encryption actually worked. (Extra credit to
Phil for spotting that.) Yet you were still the first who was able to
encode a message in such a way that my decrypter worked on it.

I hope Austin is reading, because this is typical Eve thinking. Max
didn't have any idea of the workings of the algorithm, but he still came
up with a speedy crack *and* was able to mimic the encryption process
without knowing the underlying logic in that process.

Austin, you can't assume that Eve will play by your rules. Eves are
tricksy buggerses, and they have all manner of nasssty things in their
pocketses. Never take Eve for granted.
