I can't help but I'd try the number theory section as well.

As long as you make it clear it's a homework question I'm sure they'll help out.

But of course under the rules, only after you got help here. Might pay to advertise?

There's Lidia or Gimp(Gmp?)
or trying using a number theory formula like power root or the other one ...sorry its been a while ...they both have to do with powers/roots.

...try breaking into strings?
 
I did it using Mathematica. It turns out to say "OPEN NEW FRONT IN NORMANDY".
