Anyone have a link to an online decode program because I still don't understand how to use a number as a key.

What happens when there is an error in the puzzle?
I know what the answer is supposed to be but my range of tickets is off by 100,000.

Should I just enter the word produced by my good ticket pair as it truly works out or should I put in the word I know it to be?

kona... Try this page:

kona, how the number/letter idea works:

You can convert any letters you have into numbers ala a=1, b=2.. y=25, z=26.
Then you can add or subtract the other numbers modulo 26 and change the result back to letters (doing what you did before, only the other way around) ala 1=a... 16=z

Examples:

a= 1, add '7' -> 1+7 = 8, convert 8 back to letter -> 8= h

f= 6, subtract 21 -> 6-21 = -15 = 11 (-15 modulo 26 is -15+26 = 11) convert 11 back to letter -> 11= k

This same idea can be used by taking two letters, and convering them both to numbers instead of having one letter and one number. If you use two sets of letters and say with the second (the key text) that a=0.. z=25 , then add them together, what you are doing is in fact just Vigenere.

Nice site! I'm not really sure we need to spoiler solving methods (just answers to puzzles).

Okay, that validated the long hand version I figured out at 2am. Gotta love Google (sent me to a site that explained the process). Only one of my six tickets yields a reasonable result. This is verified by konashark's emailed tickets. Only one of the Admit One ticket numbers worked.

Hopefully I can take a break at work on Saturday at the right time and get online. But most of my resources are at home (and at work I do not have access to chat).

Best of luck to all.

originally, i spoiler tagged it because i am used to seeing people spoiler tag solving methods since some people may want to figure things out on their own. I seem to remember seeing it done like that most of the time. I also had it spoiler tagged originally since i wasn't sure if we were actually allowed to try to help eachother on this one thing {being a possible contest within the game itself} and in order to only half get in trouble if it happened, heh, at least i could say i spoiler tag it.

Glad I didn't get drawn for this one cause I'd lose 12 minutes in the download.
