Not sure if anyone's posted about this yet, but here's a link to the blog of the guys that did it. These code contests just get crazier every year.

I cant wait until I have the time to read about it.
Thank you for posting.

Wow. That's super complicated. I never would have figured all of that out.

Agreed! I'm just too stupid to figure this out!! Congrats to those guys!!

I started reading how they solved it and what clues/hints they used to deduce certain things........ and I stopped reading after a couple paragraphs because it made me feel stupid!

I could think of many other things I would rather do than waste time trying to crack a code which has absolutely nothing to do with anything, and especially card collecting. I may be alone in this opinion but it's how I feel.

I just got to read the article and scoffed big-time...

It's like a game designed primarily for Jeopardy! contestants. I don't think I would have enjoyed this game...too much time wasted on thinking about trivial factoids.

Thanks for the link, sir.

I think they win a special set of framed autographs from EVERY subject in 2011 A&G!!!! That's awesome!

Wow, even if you didn't collect cards, it would be worth it to solve the code. Those auto's would definitely bring in some nice coin.

You are not alone. If the time he claims to put into it are true, that is crazy. Espically considering he's married, I'm sure his wife was happy that he regularly stayed up very late to solve the code instead of spending time with her.

that guy is Sherlock Holmes!

That was a LONG read: strange, fun, boring, interesting....but it shows a ton of dedication. Congrats to them!

I agree with some that it would be much better if the code/answer was CARD related.
