Fedral Hill!
We took a pilgrimage to Fedral Hill today… But first we stopped at Garden City to go to some overpriced gormet store. The overpriced gormet store was giving out free peppermint hot coccoa with super expensive chocolate marshmellow, hot cider and bunt cake. My sister and I took the pleasure of checking the price on the Chocolate marshmellows. They are $18.50 for 12. I ended up spending $36.53 on about 7 items at Federal Hill, they were all from Roma. After looking at the receipt, I found that a box of gormet chocolate was $15. I bought Zito, Parpardelle, Wafers, Amaretti, Nutella, and some unnamed macaroni… Then, of course we went to Casserta where I over ate :). The problem with buying fancy pastas like parpardelle and zito is that I don’t want to eat them. They are just soo fun, especially zito!

I saw your post the other day about Matrices and the Hill Cipher, and you got me interested, so I started writing my own bit of code in PHP. I got the ciphertext, but I am also stuck at the matrix inversion, since the regular determinant of submatrices method doesn’t work for in PHP because the floats don’t have the same precision as that of a calculator, meaning that you don’t get the identity matrix because the floats don’t make perfect integers, those PHP bastards. Maybe the Gauss-Jordan elimination, although its rather difficult to code. Post if you get somewhere with it.
