here is the progam.cs

Post your code between the code tags like this: [code] /* Code */ [/code]

What does this do?

if (a == 1 || a == 3 || a == 5 || a == 7 || a == 9 || a == 11 || a == 13 || (a == 2 && b == 13)
|| (a == 4 && b == 1) || (a == 6 && b == 13) || (a == 8 && b == 1) ||
(a == 10 && b == 13) || (a == 12 && b == 1) || (a == 14 && b == 2))

It's a pretty complicated piece of logic that can probably be refactored to something much simpler.
