  [0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 13, 15, 16, 17, 21]



> hint:
  Identify positions where Alice's basis == Bob's basis. For each matching position i, that bit corresponds to answer bit (i mod 48). Collect all 48 answer bits, then group into 8-bit bytes and convert to ASCII characters.



> answer format:
  lowercase letters, no spaces or punctuation
