Each of the numbers are one thousand bits long. Are you sure that is what is being asked for when they say a ^ b c d e mod n (with a big a and the other letters above it like normal exponentiation) I might have not even written it correctly as a ^ b ^ c ^ d ^ e % f but that is how I am reading it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
