when the numbers are added, any tens units are dropped. thus 8 + 9 = 7. if the encipherer uses a six-digit number and a five-digit number, the resulting pseudo-random number will repeat after 30 digits. hiyama gives an example of this system using a seven-digit and a five-digit number, which repeats after 35 digits.

the system is simple, as it no doubt was intended to be. it requires a small chart of random numbers. instead of using the numbers as additives, the encipherer uses two or more of them to create a much longer number. that number is then used to superencipher the message. the figure below shows how this is done.
