"This really works! Just send 5*10^50 H atoms to each of the five star |

systems listed below. Then, add your own system to the top of the list, |
| 23 |
delete the system at the bottom, and send out copies of this message to |
| 24 |
100 other solar systems. If you follow these instructions, within 0.25 of |

a galactic rotation you are guaranteed to receive enough hydrogen in |
| 26 |
return to power your civilization until entropy reaches its maximum!" |
