the four right chords can make me cry

"My doctor says that I have a malformed public duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes."

you think that's rubbish? try a reading from one my modules this sem!

Now, the resulting 24 + 4Q = 28 bytes word is interleaved. Each of the 28 bytes is delayed by a different period. Each period is an integral multiple of 4 blocks. So the first byte might be delayed by 4 blocks, the second by 8 blocks, the third by 12 blocks and so on. The interleaving spreads the word over a total of 28 x 4 = 112 blocks.

The resulting 28 byte words are again subjected to a parity operation. This generates four more parity bytes called P bytes which are placed at the end of the 28 bit data word. The word is now a total of 28 + 4 = 32 bytes long. Parity errors found in this part of the algorithm are called C2 errors. More on the P parity later too.

Finally, the another odd-even delay is performed -- but this time by just a single block. Both the P and Q parity bits are inverted (turning the "1s" into "0s") to assist data readout during muting.

wha? what have I gotten myself into?!?
