Update: CRACKED! Twitter user @JoeySpain appears to have been the first to solve it, with @CalculusDork just seconds behind. Working on a runner up prize for you now, but good work! If you haven't solved it yet-keep at it. A solution is posted below in the comments I think.
thanks for playing!
Alright, CodeBreakers! Here is your chance to win a genuine 2011 Allen & Ginter CodeBreaker Card. This one of a kind card autographed card featuring Angelo Dundee that we won by solving the 2011 Ginter Code.

We want to share the wealth with one of you and give you another chance at cracking a code to win a prize!
Now look-this isn’t a proper contest, no entry necessary blah blah blah. We aren't a large public corporation beholden to a vareity of contest rules etc.-we are just coming up with a creative way to give away something that is ours. That said, we do have a few rules we’d like you to follow/know about:
· One Entry Per Person. Seriously, we’ll figure out if you guys try and sneak in more entries. Also, you’ll need to follow the directions precisely, or you’ll be DQ’d
· People who’ve won Codebreaker cards before are barred from entry-whether you were part of a team or not. Sorry, but we really want this to be for a person who hasn’t won before. So please don’t lie, try to trick us, etc. We won’t be very happy or take it very kindly if you do.
· In the event of ties, disputes, etc. we reserve the right to make decisions as to winners etc. as we see fit. We intend to be fair, but let’s hope one of you just wins it outright.
So you want to win this 2011 Allen & Ginter Codebreaker card? Let’s get to it then! How do you do it? Well:

Easy right?
Are we to be looking for more clues or does this tell us everything?
ReplyDeleteIt's all there :)
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I don't think my tweet ever went through, but it appears as though I was beaten.
The guy who beat me to it did the same thing as me, thinking his didn't go through the first time. Thanks for the challenge. I did something similar after the first two ginter codes.
ReplyDeleteSo if you guys need a diversion, have at it!

Hey sorry we were slow to let you know, but yeah it's been cracked. Everything was in the post.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner:) See you in 8 months for the next round:)
ReplyDeleteApparently my tweets were protected (I have no idea what that means as I don't use twitter), hence the issue of not seeing it.
