Ok. So we've got Alice and Bob trading their cash back and forth, with 
Mallet trying to steal their cyber-dosh, and Eve listening to their 
conversations- this leads me to the big question:

What's the right name to use for the Banker? I've been using "Nick", 
after Nick Leeson; any other suggestions?

	((evenp y) (mod (expt (modexpt x (/ y 2) n) 2) n))
	(t (mod (* x (modexpt x (1- y) n)) n))))
