If you add up ALL the numbers, that's how many times JD has struck out with women. :)

May have ruined the make up, but made the day!

oh well, it's nearly home time anyway.

Hate these things, they drive me nuts! I'm one of those people who thinks of the solution at 4am!

Nope. Not gonna look. Not gonna do it.

Have fun, all

Beth - easy? Huh?! Did you forget it's Friday?! Not to mention the fact that the brain didn't get going this week AT ALL!! - HNY!

It took me a moment. But my response is

8-22-15-8 23-7 1-13 10-15-10-3-6-23-8-19 17-22-6-23-7-8-1-15-7 1-3-10-23-19!!!

-Edited because I put the first and second letters of the last word together. Origionally it was 13 and should have been 1-3

by tig2

Shouldn't it be 20-15-20-3-6-23-8-19 with the 9 being optional based on country of origin?

:D

by faradhi

Hell, I can't spel normaly. What makes you thunk I can spel in code? :^0

-can you believe that I actually edited it to get this post that way. :)

This crowd takes it to a naughty place without any assistance from me. Since this is my job, I have to be all "professional" and "earn" my "money" by "working." Sheesh! ;-)

NOTE: You have to imagine me saying that last line while creating big air quotes where indicated. :-)

by w2ktechman

I didnt have time to explore what the answer was. Geez....
I was waiting till I went home to solve it, but then you went and gave the answer.

P.S. -- when giving me a puzzle, you need to wait 24 hours before deciding to post the answer. Cause if it is posted I always 'peek'...

Now, as for Ovaltine -- Does anyone even know what it is anymore? I used to sprinkle it on top of ice cream when I was a kid, but do they even sell it still? Should have changed it to Coffee or Mt. Dew

by charliespencer

There's always a container in the house, either the regular chocolate or the malted. I believe there's a sugar-free version too. The TV ads are kinda cheesy, pitching it as vitamin-and-mineral-loaded alternative to Quik, Hershey's, etc.

by boxfiddler

as kids we ate Ovaltine sprinkled on top of our ice cream!
Are you the twin I never knew I had? ;)

by jaqui

it's to early in the morning to even try to solve this. I'm still working on getting the first coffee into me for the day.

by icejon

Anyone else slap themselves upside the head? I knew I should have looked that infernal movie up first thing that popped into my head.

by maecuff

If you can, try to find a copy of it. I believe it was released in the early 80s. We make a point to watch it every Christmas. And it's definitely one of those 'quotable' movies. You know, like Pulp Fiction. :)

by tig2

You do realise that I now have this cursed thing in an Excel sheet and am counting letters against frequent use charts trying to figure out the answer!

And I won't even look at your posting until I am ready to toss the bloody computer out the window!

AAARRRRGGGHHH! I have a love/hate relationship with these kinds of puzzles. How could you do this to me in the middle of blog writing?!?

:D

Glad to hear that you had good holidays!

by Member 25348569

I knew what type of code it was so I wrote a script because I couldn't be bothered to attack it logically.

Worked, too! Ha! Ha!

I may send you the lasagne (yes, I still remember) recipe in code! I'll bet if I try, I can turn it into VB!

:D

by hal 9000

But then again what else can I expect nothing written by M$ ever works. :0

Enjoy the time that I'm away because I'll Be Back. :D

It was 12 20 oz cups about 4 hours later, which would be urn, but that dosn't count.

by tig2

I can believe that.

I don't know about you, but I can't intentionally misspell something. And as long as Firefox is willing to show me the error of my ways, I will keep correcting them.

by the scummy one

if I was switched at the hospital at birth. But the only problem with that is I look very much like my father did, so it rules that out!
