Looking at the test exponential.txt it has occurred to me that in cases in which the clues are all the same I don't exactly understand what type of order should be followed by Nikita to produce '"secret". In this case are there different "secrets" lists that are the permutations of the set of secrets or is there in fact an order that must be followed? Can anyone clarify this?
