Are you sure those are the EXACT numbers you are getting? Because it
sounds like you might be getting the string "18899100" rather than the
hash, which would give numbers close to that but not exactly. E.g.:
irb(main):004:0> "18899100"[1]
=> 56
irb(main):005:0> "18899100"[2]
=> 56
irb(main):006:0> "18899100"[3]
=> 57
irb(main):007:0> "18899100"[0]
=> 49
