You may have noticed that the characters follow a certain pattern with O's
and X's appearing on the left side and R's C's and E's showing up on the
right--not completely unlike Roman Numerals.

Numerals. Each Roman Numeral results in a number between 68 and 118.
These, in turn, represent alphabetic characters in the ASCII chart:
68=A, 69=B, 70=C, ... 97=a, 98=b, 99=c, etc.
