Rsa cryptext decoder4/6/2023 ![]() Qióng: I will go rake the yard now, Shīfu. But PBS keeps running those nostalgia concerts. Shīfu Shíjú: I am old, Qióng, and detached. Shīfu Shíjú: Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin', Qióng. Shīfu Shíjú: We need the size of the ship and the motion of the ocean. Qióng: Thank you for correcting me, Shīfu. To follow the way, we need intelligence and wisdom. Much wisdom is very useful even for the unintelligent, but the very intelligent are only a little useful without wisdom. Girth is intelligence, and Length is wisdom. Qióng: Girth sucks! It does hardly anything for us. Shīfu Shíjú: And how long does it now take the thief? Instead of 1000 combinations, there would be 1331. Qióng: The number of possible combinations increases from 10^3 to 11^3. What happens if we increase the girth in this way, from 10 to 11? Let us leave that at 3 and instead increase the alphabet of each wheel. But let us not increase the length of the padlock. Qióng: Now it takes him almost an hour and a half– over 80 minutes instead of 8. Shīfu Shíjú: How long does it now take the half-lucky thief to open the lock? Instead of 1000 combinations, there would be 10,000. Qióng: The number of possible combinations also increases from 10^3 to 10^4. Shīfu Shíjú: What happens if we increase the length of the padlock from 3 to 4? Qióng: I am now enlightened, Shīfu Shíjú. Qióng: Shīfu, why do you use such a stupid, pointless lock on the shed? It takes on average only a little more than 8 minutes for a stranger to open it! But since he is half lucky, it will take him only a little more than 8 minutes. Qióng: If he were the unluckiest man in the province, Shīfu, it would take him almost 17 minutes. And let us say that the thief is half lucky and half unlucky, so that he will find the combination halfway through his trial of all combinations. Shīfu Shíjú: Let us say that the thief can try one combination per second, including the time it takes to move to the next attempt. Shīfu Shíjú: I have trained you well, Qióng. Qióng: That depends on how quickly the thief can try each combination and change to the next combination when he has guessed poorly. And how long will it take to open this lock if you do not know the magic numbers? Qióng: The girth of a wheel on this lock is 10, and the alphabet is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. What is the girth of a wheel, and what is its alphabet, Qióng? Shīfu Shíjú: Let us call the quantity of digits on a wheel the "girth" but let us call the digits themselves the "alphabet". Shīfu Shíjú: Idiot! Do you think the way of integers can be mastered in mere seconds? There is much mystery. In that case, when we ask how many combinations, we also ask for the girth to the power of the length: girth^length. And let us call the number of wheels the "length" of the lock. Let us call the number of digits on a wheel the "girth" of the lock. So the number of combinations is 10 x 10 x 10. Shīfu Shíjú: That is true, but how can you know this on the abacus? Qióng: Well, the highest combinations is 999, and 000 is also possible, so there must be 1000 combinations. And how many combinations are possible for that lock? Here, I will paint a picture of it for you: But if any one of the three wheels is on the wrong number, it will not open. Each wheel has some numbers and if you turn each wheel to its magic number, then the padlock will open. Qióng: It is red and has three wheels side by side. Shīfu Shíjú: On the shed, I have combination padlock. ![]() Shīfu Shíjú: Sit down, Qióng! You have asked to know. Shīfu Shíjú: Idiot! If you introduce complexities such as grouping and blocks you will never understand! To follow the way of integers, you must not think in cliques and tribes you must ask yourself what one, all on his own, can contribute. Qióng: The next digit is '1' if the series is 1 through 5 repeating: 1234512345123– Shīfu Shíjú: How can you say the next digit is '1'? Have you never brought Shīfu a six-pack? What is the next digit in this series? 12345… Now, first I will show you the way of integers. Qióng: I have done them, Shīfu! I am ready to know! Shīfu Shíjú: Idiot! Go finish your chores.
