Even your on-topic stuff wasn't really on-topic "-)
You can relax - the bank doesn't have a bunch of PIs snooping around to
find out what you're up to. What actually happens is that the university
sells the list of registered students to various organisations for use in
direct-mail campaigns.
(defun modexpt (x y n) "computes (x^y) mod n"
(cond ((= y 0) 1) ((= y 1) (mod x n))
((evenp y) (mod (expt (modexpt x (/ y 2) n) 2) n))
(t (mod (* x (modexpt x (1- y) n)) n))))
