  2. Good job on the decode, Justin.

    Jose, there weren't any errors, but you did make it much too easy for your decoder! You were missing the random bases at the beginning and the end (to make your decoder look for the start/stop codons) and no need to separate them into triplets. DNA isn't built like that. You have to figure out where the triplets are.

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: TAC CAA GAT GGT CCA TGC AGT GGA CTC ACG TTG ATC
    RNA: AUG GUU CUA CCA GGU ACG UCA CCU GAG UGC AAC UAG
    (start) I was sit(ting) at school and became sleepy after anthropology. (stop)
