Is it something to do with a certain "F... code", perchance?

Well done, Squire. I knew you'd get it. So did @betht. Did you find this experiment interesting?

Yes, definitely. I think I would have struggled without you specifically noting it was an algorithm, though.

Excellent application and experiment!

Blimey - well, I thought I'd cracked this until I read Beth's comment and realised that I hadn't! Looking forward to the reveal! 🤣

I will reveal all next week. I am waiting for @Nathan Slake to have a go. He’s a scientist so he may stand a fighting chance! Chortle.

Thanks for the tag, Terry. Will take a look soon. I’m so very, very, very, very behind on all my reading. :(

Well done. Very clever. That was easily solved. I’ll send you a message shortly. As you can see, I have used the same algorithm.

Hmmmm, reading your comment, Beth, has made me realise that I haven't got it right at all! 🤣

Yes, well done, Beth. As soon as I can re-find the direct messages bit of the labrynth that is Substack, I'll reply to you.

I don't know anything about algorithms. This one sounded chatty, like a teen-aged blog writer to me.

I trust you will let me know when you crack that code.

The code has bin cracked. @BethT has solved it. I will reveal the answer very soon. Chortle

Cute. Present tense Scooby Do algorithm? Hehe. (Scooby Do was a popular cartoon series in the 70s.)

I didn't know that Scooby Do had an algorithm! Nice try, but the answer lies in mathematics/science. Snigger
