== "Official" Algorithm ==
:Is there an "official" algorithm or program? Has Dawkins published the algorithm he has used? Just looking at the C & the C++, there are non trivial differences.
:Also just want to flag that I'm making two minor changes to the C program. I'm removing the hardcoded "27" (number of characters A..Z) from a couple of formulas and introducing a constant called POSSIBILITIES that is calculated from the number of characters that are possible. Also doing a cast to INT in two places because of a type compile error. --[[User:Davidj|Davidj]] 18:54, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
:# I don't know any evidence that Dawkins has anything to do with this task;
:# I removed most of the string length references in the code. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 01:33, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
