Congrats. Nice contest. It seems that I was nearly burned at the stake over a similar contest. I hope I can work on it when I get home from work.

I remember your contest. I used Excel to solve it. This one is MUCH simpler. Much more low tech. The answer is very, very easy to deduce.

Hey! No edits on your posts. You said I won! You're disqualified!!

Have fun with the contest.

Happy holidays and new year you bastids

Winner!

And for the rest of the class: AGB = Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone (well... at least he got the credit).

Break the number into groups of two:

42 21 71 71 93 42 63 53 43 31 21 93 74 21 62 31 62 32 91 93 32 21 73 93 63 82 22 21 74 81 43 31 74

4 = digit on the phone, 2 = the number signifying a particular letter on the first digit = H
2 = digit on the phone, 1 = the number signifying a particular letter on the first digit = A
7 = digit on the phone, 1 = the number signifying a particular letter on the first digit = P
etc etc.

You arrive at:
Happy holidays and new year you bastids! But, since switters called me a bastid, no one wins. You bastid :angry:.

Basically, I just wrote the long-hand numerical values for a text message. Switters PM me your address.

SEE GUYS.... was that so hard?
