| Tips |
| |
1) |
The message is encoded using a null cipher, much like the Hidden
Code Contest. The primary difference being that much of the interval is
given near the last page of the book. |
| |
2) |
Punctuation counts! Another major difference between the Hidden
Code Contest and the Taking Stock Character Contest is that punctuation
marks are included when counting the interval in THIS CONTEST. |
| |
3) |
If you do decode the message, please check here before going to the
meeting place. As of May 5, 2008 the contest has NOT been won. See you
soon. |
