@chubbychew, I have updated my code (posted below) so that it can xor bitstrings. That said, I did not find your string "AEIEMHAZYGPBBLMHJCSIQXADYMOZ "

kn0w0n3: Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate the effort to get me up to speed on the coding. I figured out my errors eventually(bacon with 6bits vs 5bits). We were using different inputs and methods though. I was suggesting construction like this:

first 12 flames (space delimited flames) = 0yp 1yg 1yg 0og 1yp 1op 0yg 1op 1yg 0yg 1op 0yg

and taking one bit per flame on a rotation of height (1) outside color (y) and inside color (o)

first 12 flames after operation = 0 y g 0 y p 0 o g 0 o g which gives 011010001001 according to my scheme

xor of that is of course '000000010011'

My point was that if you followed this pattern around the path you'd always get 0xxxxx0xxxxx0xxxxx0xxxxx (before xoring) which would suggest that constant 0 in front of every 6 bits could be a delimiter. So I was breaking into 6s then throwing out the leading zero and debaconing on the remaining 5 bits.

Code:

0yg0yp0og0og0op0op0yg0op0yp1
yp0yp1op0yg0og0yp1op0yg0
og0yp1og0yg0op0yg1yg0op1og0og1op0
yg1og0og0op0y
p0op0og0
op0yp0yp0og1og0y
g0yp0yp1og0y
g0og0yg1og0op0yg0y

Bacon on the 6s throwaway the leading zero
Doing that now I get-> JAYWUZUZVY.....
and after xoring -> AT_CMODODPCF.....

Bacon on the 5s keeping the zero
Doing this I now get -> NCIBQWK....
after xoring -> AE_IEMHAZY...
