    Not sure how the digits relate to one another.

    The relationship between the digits is much simpler than you think.
    It's a relationship you've been using since you were 5 years old.


    Shit. I can't stop yawning right now. Time for sleep. For some damn
    reason when I look at the digits in the ciphertext, I start to think of
    all these types of possible relationships... Then think of the following game that I remember having trouble with a very long time ago:

    Shit!

    Btw, I have actually have been working, no bullshit! Might have some
    more time to work on your challenge tonight. Fwiw:

    Struggling to spot a connection between that and the thread topic.

    Topic drift it ain't. Topic drift is when the back end slides out
    and you just make the corner. This is more like hitting a tree.

    Oh shit. Well, I made a mistake. This was meant for Stefan Claas. Not
    sure why I responded to you. Well, I just wanted to show some "proof"
    that I have been sidetracked. But, actually doing something cool, well
    to me anyway... Sorry RH.

    Ouch! Well, it reminds me of accidentally skiing into a fucking tree,
    and falling into its snow well with a broken nose, legs... I did not
    mean to cause some sort of thread hijack or any shit like that Richard.
    Just shooting the breeze. Damn. Sorry. I can feel my re-addition into
    your killfile. Uggg... Sorry again. Shit.
