Daniel over at From Behind the Wall of Sleep thinks he may have hacked the Burger King "Revenge of the Sith" scratch-off game. He's 7 for 7 with his system, which sounds pretty convincing to me.

I'm glad to see he's putting his awesome cryptological skills to good use! ;-)

Thanks for the link!

Early feedback suggests I was either just lucky, or the pieces are keyed to individual characters. My observation held in Louisiana for seven of seven pieces, Leia, Padme, and Luke. It fails for Han. It may just fail, period.

We'll see.

Don't feel bad, Dan.

While I can't say for certain (which is a legal hedge so Burger King doesn't sue me), it's been my suspicion (more legal back-pedalling), that most contests are rigged and the "lucky winners" for the major prizes (and a bunch of the medium ones as well) are chosen ahead of time.

Mr. Freen, you are such a skeptic. You should be a blogger. ;-)
