I understood it to be using a one time pad for encryption. At the start the "alien" would give an arbitrary sequence of numbers like "2, 4, 6", claiming it's an encrypted solution. Suppose the winning lottery numbers turn out to be "5, 5, 5". The alien then retrospectively generates a one time pad such that Initial Sequence + One Time Pad = Correct Sequence, in this case "3, 1, -1". |
