Parsing your sentence as written ("if I only had"): If you were the
sole keeper of the secret??
Parsing it as intended ("if only I had"), and ignoring the smiley:
Looks like a fairly straight-forward state-transition table to me. The
column headings are not aligned properly in the message, b means blank,
a-Z is bletchworthy, but the da Vinci code it ain't.
If only we had an NDFA (whatever that is) for guessing what acronyms
mean ...
Where I come from:
DFA = deterministic finite-state automaton
NFA = non-det......
SFA = content-free
NFI = concept-free
NDFA = National Dairy Farmers' Association
HTH, and Happy New Year!
