very clever and witty
cute
wait, whats 2^50, picking all odd letters? and taking into account the length of each word, and the fact that they are coherent words i think makes it a little rarer. to have 50 letters randomly picked and get those words, all odd, is much harder than 2^50. nice teaser though.
Very interesting!! Nice job!!
