Compose synthetic English phrase that would contain 160 bits of recoverable information

Question

I have 160 bits of random data.

Just for fun, I want to generate pseudo-English phrase to \"store\" this information in. I want to be able to recover this informatio

Answer 1

I would consider adding adverbs to your list. Here is a pattern I came up with:

, the
     ,    and the
     ,   
  over the   .

This can encode 181 bits of data. I derived this figure using lists I made a while back from WordNet data (probably a bit off because I included compound words):

• 12650 usable nouns (13.6 bits/noun, rounded down)
• 5247 usable adjectives (12.3 bits/adjective)
• 5009 usable verbs (12.2 bits/verb)
• 1512 usable adverbs (10.5 bits/adverb)

Example sentence: "Soaking, the habitually goofy, socially speculative swatch and the fearlessly cataclysmic, somewhere reciprocal macrocosm foreclose angelically over the unavoidably intermittent comforter."
