I particularly liked the &quot;Windows&quot; vs &quot;Sindogs&quot; issue. My immediate hunch was that the characters differed by a single bit so I ran a bit of python:<p><pre><code> &gt;&gt;&gt; [ord(x) ^ ord(y) for (x, y) in zip(&quot;windows&quot;, &quot;sindogs&quot;)] [4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16, 0] </code></pre> Sure enough...
