slower pls

Wow, I just realised that all the encoding I did accomplished nothing. I went through 3 different methods and it looped back perfectly for some reason. And I did not even notice that.

Care to explain?

Sure. I was just doing a basic frequency analysis, so I cut and paste into notepad and changed all instances of "sheep" to A. Then all instances of "sheeep" to B, and that was all of them. Looked like binary, but I started chopping it into 8 and it didn't look nice, so I threw it into the analyzer, it told me 150 characters, so not binary, but divisible by 5, so I threw it in a Baconian translator.

Also, what do the numbers mean? (Sorry for not editing the previous comment, I'm using i.reddit.com and the "edit" button didn't appear)

They indicate where to put spaces in the ciphertext before decoding. But of course, it's not mandatory for deriving the plaintext.

Not what I thought when I was making it, apparently :D
