I second that! I'm sure I'm not alone in finding this a really fun experience. How often do you get a chance to get an adrenaline rush from a riddle? Thanks, ATS!

And thanks to all the members and participants -- the cooperation and teamwork that's presented itself during this game has been inspiring, and truly indicates what makes ATS such a wonderful community.

You guys are great!

Congrats!

So that's where the other 'I' went... 'that IS' not 'thats'...

Yes indeed

Thank you to all staff who made this possible, and all players who made this such a wonderful experience. This game was my introduction to ATS, and I couldn't have wished for a better one!

P.S to SO and other people in charge: I notice you have the option of giving away 5 t-shirts to people who contributed but didn't solve any of the puzzles themselves. I think this would rock, because everyone's collaboration has been crucial throughout.

Oh, and I think americandingbat deserves one of the thumb drives just for being here.

Finally, well done Ian. I'm glad you were the one to get it, well deserved.

Now that all the solutions are in, confirmation emails will be going out within the next 24 hours, and prizes going out late September, early October.

That's it? That's the profound final statement?

Hat's off Ian. Kinda thought you would get it. After all, he who writes cryptogram solver programs in their spare time deserves to win.

Way to go, Ian!! While I haven't been contributing a whole lot to this last puzzle, I've been watching closely like a creepy stalker, and I'm glad to see that it finally got figured out!

Congratulations, Ian! Everyone did so well...you are all so smart! You should all be very proud of yourselves!

Yes, looking forward to another game!!! Thank you, ATS, for this opportunity!

Congratulations Ian you conspiracy master you I was unable to spend time on the last few puzzles due to work but I had hoped I could get the chance to have a crack at the last puzzle. Oh well, there's always the next competition! (And I cant complain I won a t-shirt!!!)

Thanks to all the ATS staff who worked tirelessly so we may have many many sleepless nights seeing purple bars and spotty dots dancing about in our dreams
