# Recover the mutated source code

In a very unusual accident involving a small sample of radium, an electrocuted whale, and three gummy bears, some of The Management™'s source code has been mutated. Little does The Management™'s boss know, it was actually the Cops© who had been responsible, in an attempt to thwart The Management™'s "evil" plans. So the Robbers® have been hired in an attempt to retrieve the original code, because who doesn't like being evil sometimes?

note: This challenge was heavily inspired by Unscramble the Source Code

# Description

This is a challenge.

• The cops will write a program (the mutated code) that performs Task #1 (and also write a program that performs Task #2, but is kept secret).
• The robbers will attempt to reverse the "mutation" and change this original code into code that performs Task #2.

In this challenge, Task #1 will be to output the nth prime number, and Task #2 will be to output the nth Fibonacci number (which is somehow evil, according to the Cops© anyway). The Fibonacci sequence is defined as (n=11; n=21; n=32; ...), and the prime numbers are defined as (n=12; n=23; n=35; ...).

The cops' goal is to minimize the difference between the programs that complete Task #1 and Task #2, while preventing the robbers from recreating the code that completes Task #2.

# Cop Rules

The cops will write two programs (one that completes Task #1, and one that completes Task #2), and make the following information public:

• The first program (that outputs the nth prime number)
• The Levenshtein edit distance between the first program and the second program
• The programming language that both programs are written in (must be the same language for both programs)

The following restrictions apply to both programs:

• They must be 128 characters in length or less.
• They must only use printable ASCII (plus newlines, which are also allowed).
• They must take less than 10 seconds to run for n=45, and they are not required to produce the correct output for any n>45.
• They must not use any hashing or cryptographic functions.

# Robber Rules

The robber will attempt to change the cop's program (which completes Task #1) into a program that completes Task #2 (not necessarily the original program written by the cop) in the edit distance specified by the cop.

An already-cracked submission cannot be cracked again (only the first robber who cracks a submission gets credit).

After cracking a submission, please do the following:

• Edit the cop's answer if you have edit privileges (if you do not, either wait until someone else with the required privileges does so for you or suggest an edit).

# Scoring

If a cop's program remains uncracked for 1 week, the cop can post the original code that completes Task #2 (in the specified edit distance), and the submission is from then on considered "safe." The safe submission that has the smallest edit distance will win. In the event of a tie, the shortest program (the original that completes Task #1) wins. If two submissions are still tied, the one posted earlier wins.

If a robber successfully cracks a cop's submission, the robber's score goes up by the edit distance of that submission. For example, a robber that cracks a submission with an edit distance of 3 and one with a distance of 5 earns 8 points. The robber with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, the robber who earned the score first wins.
