Can you decode "The Code"
« on: March 19, 2008, 02:44:22 AM »
First to solve the hidden message in the symbols on the Code will receive a Code free of charge, they will be responsible for the Freight. So get out your secret decoder rings and get to work. First posted wins.

Gil-Mac ... you are correct. The F is capitalized.

It's the syastro font in MS Word!!!

In the pyramid in all lowercase letters is "amf"

Below the pyramid is "BenchMark" with the B and the M capitalized.

Don't have that in my version on Word!  Looks like that font is standard in AutoCAD.  http://ufonts.com/syastro/

Had the AMF part...duh! Well, had it narrowed down to either AMF or RED (in case they decide to make another version in a different color).

Too many choices using this website: http://www.morewords.com/unique-letters/  

Couldn't decide if it was 1 word or multiples, and my vision started to get blurry looking at all the words.

Makes sense since they didn't specifically mention it as a "benchmark" ball.  I guess "ideal ball reaction for today's lane conditions" = benchmark.


Good work guys!

Congratulations you deciphered the "entire" Code. Some only solved the bottom symbols and with out the correct capitalization leaving out the AMF others had the correct message but not the correct captialization. You were the first to solve the entire code. Please PM me with your contact info and we will make arrangements to get you the "Code"

Thanks to all you have participated.

You didn't solve the message, you only said Benchmark, you missed the AMF part. Have your legal dept contact me for an explaination if they need one.

-->| |<-- I was this close !!! <kicking myself for missing the capital F!!>

Congrats, Gil-Mac! I'm jealous!

Chaos - you didn't solve all of the the symbols on the code. It was a fun contest. Don't bring it down by being a poor sport and threatening the sponsor with legal action.

Newguy (Phil) - Thanks for adding some excitement to my day yesterday!

  Yea, that's the way to make new friends.  Threaten a guy with a lawsuit over a FREE ball he is GIVING AWAY, just because you didn't win it.  WAHHHHH WAHHHHHH WAHHHHHH.   I HATE CRYBABIES!

  Thanks for making sure that it is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time before anyone else tries to give anything away here
