Did you step through the video where they walk you through how the phrase was encoded? It’s available here:

Cryptography, step by step

Click on the arrows in the upper right corner to see how it was transformed. Very cool.

One question, since you know about this stuff— slide 7 explained where the number of (random) letters added to the beginning of each line came from, but what determined the number added to the end of each line? (i’m reading kind of quickly, apologies if I missed something very obvious)
