/*
* Passcode derivation
* Problem 79
*
* A common security method used for online banking is to ask the user for three random
* characters from a passcode. For example, if the passcode was 531278, they may ask for the
* 2nd, 3rd, and 5th characters; the expected reply would be: 317.
* The text file, keylog.txt, contains fifty successful login attempts.
* Given that the three characters are always asked for in order, analyse the file so as to
* determine the shortest possible secret passcode of unknown length.
