Decoded, the alien signals read:
"Simply send 6 x 10^50 atoms of hydrogen to the star system at the top
of the list, cross off that star system, then put your star system at
the bottom of the list and send it to 100 other star systems. Within
one-tenth of a galactic rotation you will receive enough hydrogen to
power your civilization until entropy reaches its maximum! IT REALLY
WORKS!"
