input/output is wrong #3

Hi,

As "there" is "51272", which means "r" is "7" but in "thorns" ("514678"), "r" is "6".

So it should be 514768 instead, right?

According to the text, you can use different relations between lines, is necessary only to keep the coherence on the same line: "You will be given multiple encoded messages to decode (one per line) and they may use different substitution ciphers."

oh, yah, my bad ;)

BTW, for the finding all the sub-sequence one, you might miss an 'a' at the end? I got 69 instead of 71 by using the input, after I append the 'a' at the end, the result is 71
