Hey, people, I need help.
A friend of mine has a quite interesting- well, for some- algorithm. We often exchange codes, which the other person attempts to decrypt. The problem is, most of the time, codes are fine with me. Mathematical algorithms, not so much.
So he has four versions of the exact same text encoded with the exact same algorithm, and refuses to explain further.
My first question is how can you have the exact same text and exact same algorithm, but get:

the == signs at the end of all of them just signal the end of that string.
So, I’m looking at this, and I realize I have no idea where to even start. Any hints you have would be welcome…or even just the solution
Thanks!
