Someone snagged the second Silicon Lounge that was posted today, unfortunately I was at a movie when it was posted. Damn having a life >_<

You did it right, Chad. Norse was just directing you to his reply to Aiken.

Lol sorry. That reply was meant for Gideon, not you. Not familiar with the posting format here :p

I’m looking at it right now,there is no JRNK among the choices as Aiken mentioned.

I just looked through the section. An internal error took place. My apologies for any inconvenience caused; unfortunately, we have no way of knowing who might’ve won. I double-checked tomorrow’s code release to make sure it’s accurate, and is also accurate in the magazine issue. That one’s all good.

As was mentioned earlier, this is far from the last code HSM will have up for grabs. If anything, this has given me an idea which, once it gets put together, will really benefit the readership. More to come on that soon, but I think everyone’s going to like it.

Err, did you actually look? I have it on my screen right now. There is no JRNK line, at least in the flash version. Take another look.

No. Look again, the code matrix included the misspelling and the correct spelling.

Are you aware that, in the code matrix in the actual magazine, you misspelled the code you gave out today? No wonder we had trouble redeeming it the first time around…

That didn’t take long. The last time we did a code contest (Issue #5), it was gone within minutes of the issue’s release. We’ve been experimenting with different ways of how to release codes — writing contests, magazine hunts, crosswords, code matrices, etc. — to find the ones that provide the right level of challenge. Each time we try a new approach, we learn a little more.

Tomorrow’s release will be exactly the same as today’s, so it’ll go pretty quickly. After that, though…I’ve got some ideas. Tee hee.

Can’t seem to find one anywhere…maybe its hidden in code? Or in one of the Pics?

Great to see HSM taking initiative and changing up their way of distributing those codes.

I already found the first one in one of the articles posted, but someone claimed it already. “This Prepaid Card has already been consumed” is what I get when attempting to redeem.
