To hint or not to hint
Wow! You guys rock!
It's taken a while, but I've gone through all the comments and emails, and--listen up--here are some important things you should know.
Yes, some people (plural) have already correctly de-coded the title. (I'll soon be emailing them to say so.) And yes, they are very smart and cool and I'm awed by their super-spyness.
No, I'm not going to post what categories have already been won because I don't think you guys should be doing it for the prizes, but for the challenge! (Because I'm preachy that way.)
In response to those of you who have asked if you can work with a mom/teacher/brother/friend I say okay. We're on the honor system here at the Gallagher Academy, but we also appreciate teamwork, and one of the key things a spy can do is get help when you need it. (But if you work with an adult and the adult does A LOT of the work, why don't you enter in the above 18 category.)
I still don't have any entries from classes, so all of you working and struggling alone, why don't you pitch the idea to your favorite teacher to see if they might make a project of it?
And finally...
TODAY'S HINT: If you're using a calculator you're making it way too hard.
Happy spying!

LOL. I hadn't even thought of usinig a calculator.
I've been searching on code breaking and deciphering codes.
Ok, I tried every code I knew so I figured I'd have to search other codes, and I have yet to find one I haven't tried that has numbers to letters. I did math in my head but I guess it isn't as complicated as I tried to make it. Yet I'm still at a lose...how are these people figuring it out!
help
have you guys come close?
please help!
i just found this code thingy today...now that the whole calculator thing is eliminated i have only...a million different codes to try. o-well, something to do during rehearsal.
I don't have a clue on how to figure this out
Holy Crap. I did it. Seriously. Keep researching, guys. It's really obvioius once you figure it out.
Researching what! Will we think of it on our own without research...
=\
well y cant i figure it out!i wish it were more obvious!i wish i was as smart as the ppl who figured it out!!!MORE HELP!
>in desperate need of help aka Sophie<
DITTO SOPHIE!
laurie - I think you could probably figure it out by yourself, without researching. I just found the way to decode it through researching (and trial and error, and bouncing ideas off of friends who I also gave copies of the code to). But I'm not very creative, so maybe you wouldn't need research. :)
this definatly is hard-ive been researching like ancient greek codes-im that desperate!!
any clues guys??
