Ok, I think I get it! We can do that! It sounds like a fun puzzle.

We're basically combining a simulation of the random number generating
process with a simulation of the user generating text in order to find
what is most likely to be within the pad.

It's only useful if you can simulate the random number generator, in
which case you can use the encrypted data to improve the accuracy of
the model of the user.

The xor function is so simple in comparison you can basically pull it out.

How could we simplify the problem into something implementable?
