title: One-Time pad XOR cipher
body: <p>So below has a number of english sentences which are encrypted using the same one-time pad key. I'm trying to decrypt it using xor cipher so I have started of with the following.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Guessing the first character as an "A"
  7B (hex) XOR 41(hex of A) = 3A (hex) 
  3A XOR with 7B, 77, 6A, 6E, 6D, 7D
  I get       A , M,  P , T  , W  , G             
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wanted to know if there was a quicker way to doing this as it seems very time consuming to guess the first character and do a lot of trial and error. Tried to write a python code for it but wasn't sure how to start. I hope this question made sense. </p>
