Isn't it guaranteed unbreakable simply because there's no way to decrypt it? Since there isn't a one-to-one mapping of cyphertext to plaintext, I don't think it's actually a form of encryption. Basically it's the same as the sort function, which is also not invertible.
yes, EXCEPT and EXPECT will get the same "encryption" ...
... and why is the order reversed (step 2) before the sorting (step 4) ?
Yes, I guess you aren't familiar with the Discordians. They are a group of people who believe that spirituality is as much about disharmony as it is about harmony. So, in their primary book, Principia Discorida: http://principiadiscordia.com/ you never know what is serious and what is play. The wikipedia has more to say on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordian -- Terrence Brannon, sundevil@livingcosmos.org, http://www.livingcosmos.org
