I'm as confused as Gregory is then... we don`t know what e is,
it might be very large, close to the size of N, and d could be 3.

In my point of view, the above statement by Bob is equivalent to

"If you know e and N, where e is the encryption exponent,
  finding p and q, the factors of N, is trivial".

which if true, I would really like to know the solution!
