What's the Cambridge Transform? For each word in a text, the first and the last letter are left unchanged, and any letters between them are scrambled. Oh, and the name is mine. I don't know if anyone else calls the transformation by that name.
What interesting conclusion was made about the transform? What I understand (from an email from my daughter) is that researchers at Cambridge University concluded that text that has the Cambridge Transform applied to it is still readable. And initial explorations by myself suggest this is true, although long words like transmogrification can be hard to fathom after being Cambridgized.
What test cases were used to test the CGI? About 25 test cases some of which include a number of subtests. The cases focus on:
What's the source code like? The CGI is coded in Perl. It is definitely a hack. On the plus side, it does pass the tests I've come up with so far.
