With the string of " _|" I used, starting sub-indices for each 3-character substrings are such that one need modulo 10 (or greater) for at least two of the three indices. I have looked at a few other combinations and, after thinking about it, have convinced myself that it is unfortunately not possible to do. I would love to be proven wrong! Good idea though!
