    It is certainly true that x^0 = 1 for all x (with the exception of
    x=0, for which, mathematically, the result may also be zero, but the
    usual convention is to choose 1 in this case as well).

    However, the legitimate decryptor faces some ambiguity in his solution
    as well.

    Happy April.
