I was set a challenge of breaking the following encryption:

----START--------
a - b4
aa - b4fd
aaa - b4fd2f
aaaa - b4fd2fdc

b - b7
bb - b751
bbb - b75195
bbbb - b7519569

c - b6
cc - b641
ccc - b64164
cccc - b641644c

d - b1
dd - b176
ddd - b176a3
dddd - b176a32d

e - b0

f - b3

g - b2

h - b4

! - f4

? - ea

------END-----------

So far I've had no luck understanding it. Please help me!

What are you trying to do? Do you have a string to decrypt or something like that?

Well, yes.. I do have a string to decrypt but i'd also like to write a/two function(s) for future use too.... the string is:

bd76d2d09c9b769432db283373b6b4af46ffc11945924b9a214aa996fa3af2

P.S. Your thing still says 'Merry Christmas'

Firstly, I would like to decrypt the string but secondly I would like to write functions to use this encryption (and then apply my own keys)
