What more can I say, if I'm wrong, I have no issue with that, none whatsoever but I won't just be told to let something be and to go back to my corner when I don't think the other person is correct. He offered to look at it for me, he did, I thanked him, I was polite, he clearly isn't happy that I want to continue on my decode path, why I'm not sure, makes no odds to him if I make myself look a fool, to none of you actually so what's the issue, not hurting any of you, just having a go and will see it through.(14-04-2025, 11:24 PM)Kris1212 wrote: You are not allowed to view links.

And I commend you for that -- I really do! I don't think you should simply accept without question the criticism of your solution that you might see on this forum. There are plenty who don't really approach the problem objectively. (But you should be aware that most everyone will vouch that Koen is NOT one of those people, so you should give a lot more consideration to his observations than you seem to be doing.)
I have not seen your solution, so I have no criticisms of it at all and I don't want it to seem like I do. Solutions to problems like this often come from outsiders of one kind or another -- and often because of their distance from the established community. No -- my skepticism is related to the other red-flags that I see with your postings and that they make it more probable that you have fooled yourself.
