Of course, but there is also the first rule: You may chose your input domain, but it must be composed of at least printable ASCII. And I don't see characters 0 to 6 (included) as printable ASCII characters, leaving us with only 3 "printable" characters (this is debatable for chars 7 & 8). And I need at least 4 consecutive chars to force a different one for one of the provided strings.

| Aug 22, 2017 at 18:40 | comment | added | scottinet | Unless I misunderstood, that would be against this challenge rules. | |
| Aug 22, 2017 at 16:18 | comment | added | Ørjan Johansen | If you don't restrict to printable ASCII then you could use single-digit numbers. | |

I'm not sure this can be given a consistent input domain satisfying the rules. What if *a==255 and *b==0?
