Contest designer Frank Thornton of Blackthorn Systems has added a technological wrinkle or two to this year's contest. The Running Man Web page has a secret message on it, which will require cryptographic and puzzle-solving skills to decode. Competitors can't run around the hotel simply asking everyone, "Are you the Running Man?" Instead, they have to decode the message and say it to the Running Man. The first team to do so wins.
Bill used a perl script to run throught all that rot Wrong! Bill spent 15 minutes to write a perl script which dodn't work, fer crissake! To break a friking ROT, no less.
